OUR CLIMATE CLOCK IS TICKING...

 

We can’t wait to act. The time is NOW.

Can we pledge to support these four summit goals?

  1. Secure global net-zero mid-century and keep 1.5 degrees within reach.  In order to deliver, countries will need to: Accelerate the phase-out of coal, slow deforestation, and speed up the switch to electric vehicles, and encourage investment in renewables
  2. Adapt to protect communities and natural habitats. The climate is already changing and it will continue to change even as we reduce emissions, with devastating effects.Countries affected by climate change to protect and restore ecosystems
  3. Show us the money! In order to deliver on these two goals, countries must make good on their promise to mobilize $100 billion in climate finance per year. Now. International financial institutions must play their part and we need to work towards unleashing the trillions of dollars in private and public sector finance required to secure global net-zero
  4. Working together to deliver is our only hope. Governments, businesses and civil society must work together!
