🌍✨ GAUC 2023 Recap #1: 30 Awareness Day Posts ✨🌍 Since June, we've embarked on a mission to shed light on the vital connection between climate change and various awareness day topics. The synergy between climate change and our awareness themes has been eye-opening. From #biodiversity to #transportation, from #children to #indigenouspeoples, from #deserts to #cities, each post aimed to spark conversations and inspire positive change. Thanks to GAUC reporter Angelina Sim, Bernard Lee, Fanghong Yao, Yu Han Soo, and designer ZHANG Zhibo for their contributions! Let's take a moment to reflect on the 30 awareness day posts that have graced our feed since June. As we wrap up this recap, we encourage you to continue following our journey. There's more to come, more to learn, and more to do for climate. Let's stay connected and keep the momentum going! #GAUC #2023Recap #ClimateChange #Awareness

Cities must play a pivotal role in the response to the climate crisis. They are at the forefront of empowering local communities with the knowledge and skills to break long-established patterns of unsustainable consumption, production and mobility. - Isabell Kempf, Director of the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong learning, at today's webinar ‘Charting a course together: multi-stakeholder approaches to addressing local-level climate challenges’ ℹ️ https://shorturl.at/gwB04 #SDG4 #SDG11 #SDG13

Climate Group is helping to set another world stage for leaders to convene at Climate Week NYC 2024 starting September 22-29, 2024. Climate Week NYC 2024 will provide a platform for showcasing leading climate action and discussing how to do more. The annual event is hosted by the Climate Group and New York City and takes place in conjunction with the UN General Assembly (UNGA). https://lnkd.in/eEHvKH-s "The world continues to grapple with extreme weather events, with 2024 starting out as the hottest year ever recorded and greenhouse gas emissions not really coming down." Climate Group continuously raises awareness on how "we're simply not going fast enough - yet." https://lnkd.in/eGqYS-BV That’s why Climate Week NYC is returning with an urgent message: It’s Time. In short, It’s Time. "It’s Time to phase out fossil fuels and invest in clean energy infrastructure.  It’s Time to embed climate action into national and subnational government policies.  It’s Time to level the playing field for all countries and ensure equitable access to climate finance." Stay tuned for updates and follow Climate Group on IG @theclimategroup and bookmark: https://lnkd.in/eGqYS-BV Expressing an on-going industry gratitude to Helen Clarkson, The Climate Group teams, United Nations Office for Partnerships, United Nations General Assembly , and the City of New York for your on-going global work.

🌍💚 Six years ago on #EarthDay, We Don't Have Time hosted the first 'no-fly' climate conference, ahead of the curve. From global youth movements to corporate commitments, a lot has changed. But our message, #WeDontHaveTime, is more crucial now than ever. We cannot afford to wait ⌛🚨 And you what were you doing 6 years ago? 🤔 #climateaction #earthdayeveryday #earthday2024 #climateactionnow #actonclimate #movethemoney #actnow
