Take a deep breath…. Clean air shouldn’t be a luxury. 🌍 Yet, air pollution affects nearly every person on the planet, posing severe risks to both our health and the environment. What’s more, pollutants like methane and black carbon contribute significantly to global warming and climate impacts. The evidence is clear: Effective government policy is critical to reducing air pollutants and safeguarding public health. It’s time to invest in #CleanAirNow. #WorldCleanAirDay

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.

In Africa, as in all regions, the climate crisis is an economic sinkhole sucking the momentum out of economic growth. Many African nations are losing up to 5% of GDP as a result of climate impacts, according to the World Meteorological Organization. African nations are hit hardest but all nations pay a price. Because "the economic and political reality – in an interdependent world - is we are all in this crisis together. We rise together, or we fall together,” as UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell said in a speech in Côte d’Ivoire today. It’s time to tackle the climate crisis as a global community. 🌍🌎🌏 The upcoming climate conference #COP29 in Baku must signal that the climate crisis is core business for EVERY government, with finance solutions to match. More jobs, stronger economies, energy stability, better health: Delivering on climate action will unlock a goldmine of human and economic benefits. In Africa and the entire world.

We cannot continue with business–as-usual, in any aspect of the global climate crisis. The increasing efforts of multilateral development banks are absolutely essential - particularly in the most vulnerable developing countries. Climate finance is the great enabler and institutions such as the European Investment Bank (EIB) need to lead the way. To avert the worst climate impacts on the global economy. And to build stronger, more resilient societies. Together. Never a more important time to meet with representatives of the EIB today.

Climate impacts are hammering every country and economy, every year, with increasing severity. Yet, too many find themselves without the means to prepare. And when disaster strikes, too many people are unprotected. Adaptation is about building climate resilience, but also about building the societies we want. At #COP29 in Baku, the nations of the world must agree on an ambitious goal for climate finance. It's time to harness the full transformational power of adaptation. Speaking at the LDC Group Ministerial Meeting

Rising seas are a warning we can’t afford to ignore. United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres's new report shows that sea-level rise is accelerating, threatening lives and livelihoods worldwide, especially for those on the frontlines. We need a massive surge in climate finance and bold adaptation measures to protect people from the present and future risks of climate change. 💪 👉bit.ly/3X3Ba4R

“If we are not able to stop what is happening with climate change, the problem that we see in Samoa will not stay in Samoa.” 🌎 On his visit to the Pacific Islands, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres witnessed firsthand the dramatic impact of rising sea levels, which is forcing communities to retreat inland. The time to build resilient societies is now. Adaptation must be at the heart of every national climate plan. 💪
