Actions taken by Organisations

1.       IPCC

a.       The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC), created by the World Meteorological Organization in partnership with the United Nations Environmental Program, is the leading international scientific body related to climate change research.

b.       The IPCC has the mission to provide scientific assessments reports on climate change impacts, future risks, adaption and mitigation options.

c.       The reports published by the IPCC, written by leading scientists who volunteer their time and expertise as authors and reviewers of the reports, are the most reliable source of information on climate change.

2.       UN Agencies

a.       The United Nations have, of course, much to do with climate change due to its international nature.

b.       UN’s efforts with respect to climate change happen mainly through the abovementioned agencies, UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

i.      UNEP’s work focus on the environmental dimension of sustainable development, working in seven different thematic areas: climate change, disasters and conflicts, ecosystem management, environmental governance, chemicals and waste, resource efficiency, and environment under review.

ii.      Weather, Climate and Water. Those are the cornerstones of work held by the WMO. Following the idea that these three environmental pillars follow no national boundaries, WMO’s efforts are dedicated to international cooperation on the state Earth’s atmosphere.

3.       Green Climate Fund

a.       Created in 2014, the Green Climate Fund(GCF) is a global financial fund focused on investments related to mitigation and adaptation initiatives, following the Paris Agreements goal of keeping climate change below 2 degrees Celsius.

b.       While paying particular attention to the needs of societies that are highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, in particular, Least Developed Countries (LDCs), Small Island Developing States (SIDS), and the African States, the GCF builds a bridge between private investment and climate action.

4.       Climate Investment Funds

a.       The Climate Investment Funds (CIF) is one of the world’s leading climate finance mechanisms. Founded in 2008, it represents one of the first global efforts to invest in a dedicated climate finance. The CIF emerged from recognition by world leaders that climate change and development are inextricably intertwined.

5.       C40

a.       “Cities are where the future happens first” — that is the motto that directs C40’s action.

b.       C40 is city-level NGO action on climate action, a global network of the world’s megacities committed to addressing climate change by developing and implementing policies and programs that generate measurable reductions in both greenhouse gas emissions and climate risks.
