💪 We need an Olympic effort to tackle the climate crisis! 💚 We asked those who truly understand what it means to make an Olympic effort. Here’s what we can learn from them to fight climate change as a global community: “We need to bring our collective mind together to see how we can overcome this climate change. Because this is not easy. It is tough for everyone, and it's our collective responsibility,” says David Rudisha, a Kenyan middle-distance runner and two-time Olympic champion. Together we can make a difference. #ClimateAction

United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
Info
With 197 Parties, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has near universal membership and is the parent treaty of the 2015 Paris Climate Change Agreement. The main aim of the Paris Agreement is to keep a global average temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius and to drive efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The UNFCCC is also the parent treaty of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. The ultimate objective of all agreements under the UNFCCC is to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that will prevent dangerous human interference with the climate system, in a time frame which allows ecosystems to adapt naturally and enables sustainable development.

💪 We need an Olympic effort to tackle the climate crisis! 💚 We can do it if we go higher, stronger, faster—together. We asked those who truly understand what it means to make an Olympic effort. Here’s what we can learn from them to fight climate change as a global community: “In sport, we always talk about these crazy, scary, huge goals, but we split them down into smaller steps. In one month, two months, one year, two years’ time, we're going to be so much better. And I think we can apply that directly to climate change,” says Imogen Grant, a British lightweight world champion rower. Together we can make a difference. #ClimateAction

Earth is becoming hotter and more dangerous for everyone, everywhere. Together with ten specialized UN entities, UN Secretary-General António Guterres has launched a Call to Action on Extreme Heat. The paper published today calls for an urgent and concerted effort to address extreme heat in four critical areas: 👭 Caring for the vulnerable 👷♀️Protecting workers 📊 Boosting resilience of economies and societies using data and science 💚Limiting temperature rise to 1.5°C by phasing out fossil fuels and scaling up investment in renewable energy.

The climate crisis is hitting every nation's security, economy, and people, with rising fury and spiraling costs. Governments need to treat bold climate plans as core business across all ministries, with G20 countries leading the way. Solidarity is our only pathway, to the harmony and prosperity that all people need. Read my full speech at the 8th Ministerial on Climate Action in Wuhan: https://bit.ly/4cSkT9u 📸 MoCA 8 team

What I'm seeing on my home island, Carriacou, must not become humanity's new normal. If governments everywhere don’t step up, 8 billion people will be facing this blunt force trauma head on, on a continuous basis. We need climate action back at the top of political agendas.

From the rapid development of new technologies to competition for natural resources, the world is increasingly affected by global crises that are not just amplifying and accelerating but appear to be synchronizing with devastating consequences. This new UNEP Global Foresight Report in partnership with the International Science Council provides insights on 8 critical global shifts that exacerbate the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.

“No climate adaptation for farmers means no food.” 🌾 From soil preservation to cultivating drought-resilient crops, farmers are working in many ways to ensure food security for us all. We spoke to Esther Penunia of the Asian Farmers' Association for Sustainable Rural Development (AFA), about the crucial role of family farmers in adapting to our changing climate. 👩🌾👨🌾💚

Renewable energy is at the heart of climate action. 💚 At #COP28, the world decided to transition away from fossil fuels and triple renewable energy capacity by 2030. But what does this mean exactly, and how can we achieve it? Listen to International Energy Agency (IEA) expert Heymi Bahar explain.

The climate crisis is pushing disasters to record-breaking new levels of destruction. Whether in my homeland of #Carriacou, which is today being hammered by Hurricane #Beryl; or in the communities of some of the largest economies recently crippled by heatwaves and floods; or in other parts of the world experiencing massive wildfires and brutal droughts, we can't sit by and watch while the spiraling climate wreaks havoc. The solutions are clear: We need bolder national climate plans, speeding up the transition away from fossil fuels. We need strong adaptation plans, building resilient communities. We need much bigger and better finance, the great enabler of climate action. Events like these show there are limits to adaptation and we need a fully resourced Loss and Damage fund. We need more climate action delivery, not climate despair. And we need it now.
