Peoples’ Climate Vote: What does the world want in terms of climate action?
Geneva & Virtual
This event aims to explore climate policies that have significantly contributed to the fulfillment of the Paris Agreement’s promises. Two case studies of national climate policies from both developed and developing countries will initiate a conversation to better understand how climate policies can turn aspirations into action. Participants will also engage in discussions on promoting a narrative of hope while supporting the UN Secretary-General’s global campaign to advocate for accelerated ambition to keep the 1.5° goal alive.
Building on the successful Weather Kids campaign launched last April, which reached millions of viewers worldwide, this upcoming event will unveil the results of UNDP’s Peoples’ Climate Vote, released on 20 June.
