Climate change is caused by human activities and threatens life on Earth as we know it. With rising greenhouse gas emissions, climate change is occurring at much faster rates than predicted. Its effects can be devastating and include extreme and changing weather patterns and rising sea levels.

Going beyond plans and promises urgently and transformatively is critical. It requires raising the bar on ambition, covering entire economies, and moving towards climate-resilient development, with a clear path to net zero emissions. Immediate measures are necessary to avoid catastrophic consequences and secure a sustainable future for future generations.
