Climate Solutions to Keep 1.5° Alive: Pushing Boundaries Through Collective Climate Action

Hope matters. It galvanizes energy and incentivizes commitment. It creates a positive dynamic for action. Even though the current narrative on climate focuses on doom and gloom, there are reasons for hope to encourage everyone to take an active part in defeating the climate crisis and calling for ambitious climate policies and action. 

Join the UN Development Program Geneva for ‘Climate Solutions to Keep 1.5° Alive: Pushing Boundaries Through Collective Climate Action’ on December 2, 2024 at 15:30 CEST / 9:30 EST at the United Nations Headquarters and online on We Don't Have Time.

We will investigate how citizens worldwide are igniting climate action and reshaping global policies. We will showcase the power of public participation, through case studies from the global North and South, and will demonstrate how collective action can keep the 1.5° goal alive. Be inspired to act and become an agent of change in the fight against the climate crisis.
