UN CLIMATE ACTION SUMMIT

It Is Time To Come With A Plan

September 21-23, 2019, UN Headquarters, New York

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called the Climate Action Summit in late 2018, aware that global efforts to tackle climate change are running off-track – a fact underlined by the dire warnings in the IPCC 1.5°C report. He said he wanted a summit where leaders would only get to speak if they have plans in line with 1.5°C. It’s not the same as the annual COP: this will still take place in 2019, in Chile [COP25].
