Tackling the Climate Crisis
Addressing climate change requires ambitious and coordinated efforts at all levels. While significant progress is being made—such as the rapid rise in renewable energy investments—much more remains to be done. Transforming global systems, including energy, industry, transportation, agriculture, food production, and forestry, is essential to limiting the global temperature rise to well below 2°C, and ideally to 1.5°C.
1) Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters in all countries.
2) Integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning.
3) Improve education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning.
A - Implement the commitment undertaken by developed-country parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to a goal of mobilizing jointly $100 billion annually by 2020 from all sources to address the needs of developing countries in the context of meaningful mitigation actions and transparency on implementation and fully operationalize the Green Climate Fund through its capitalization as soon as possible.
B - Promote mechanisms for raising capacity for effective climate change-related planning and management in least developed countries and small island developing States, including focusing on women, youth and local and marginalized communities.
C - Acknowledging that the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is the primary international, intergovernmental forum for negotiating the global response to climate change.
