News and Updates
Learn More About Climate ActionFor a brief background and overview on climate action, see here. Likewise, for a brief background and overview on climate finance, see here. Central to climate action is the Paris Agreement. The Paris Agreement builds off of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and, for the first time brings all nations together into a common cause to undertake ambitious efforts to combat climate change and adapt to its effects. To learn more about the Paris Agreement, see here. Meanwhile, at the heart of the Paris Agreement are the nationally determined contributions (NDCs) that embody efforts by each country to reduce national emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change. For more information on the NDCs, see here. Working in tandem with the Paris Agreement are the 17 United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In case you are unfamiliar with the SDGs, you can find out more here. Climate action is represented by the SDG 13: Climate Action. You can learn more about SDG 13 here. Additional information on SDG 13 can be found by clicking on the links to the various dedicated organizational pages below: |
