Climate action

UNEP provides evidence-based data to inform policy decisions, collaborates with sectors for low-carbon transitions, provides climate finance mechanisms and aids countries in adaptation and mitigation efforts.

The world is in a climate emergency. Unless greenhouse gas emissions fall dramatically, warming could pass 2.9°C this century

Unless greenhouse gas emissions fall dramatically, warming could pass 2.9°C this century, which would have catastrophic consequences for life on this planet. UNEP takes a four-pronged approach to addressing the climate crisis and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in line with the Paris Agreement. The organisation;

→ provides cutting-edge research to support science-based decision-making on climate change

→ works across sectors to support the transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient future

→ ensures a just transition to a carbon-neutral world by empowering communities to adapt to changing climatic conditions; and

→ develops sustainable mechanisms to unlock financing to help countries both mitigate and adapt to climate change.
