United Nations Tweeted That Climate Action Is A Task For All Of Us

According to the United Nations, climate change can be a natural process where temperature, rainfall, wind, and other elements vary over decades or more. For millions of years, our world has been warmer and colder than it is now. But today we are experiencing unprecedented rapid warming from human activities, primarily due to burning fossil fuels that generate greenhouse gas emissions.

Initiatives for Action

Governments, businesses, and civil society members are connecting in climate initiatives to speed the pace of climate action. Initiated at the 2019 Climate Action Summit held at the United Nations, the initiatives are reducing emissions, tackling critical concerns such as jobs and gender equality, unlocking finance, building sustainable infrastructure, using nature-based solutions, and advancing adaptation and climate resilience.

The United Nations’ role as a convener is needed more than ever to encourage people to collaborate, be ambitious and take actions required to limit global temperature rise to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius. The United Nations also stands behind a transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy that is just and beneficial for all people.

Examples of Climate Action Initiatives

• Energy
  • Accelerating renewable energy transition into SIDS
  • Climate action for jobs
  • Powering past coal alliance
  • Cool coalition
• Industry and transport
  • Action towards climate-friendly transport
  • Decarbonizing shipping: getting ready to zero coalition
  • Leadership group for industry transition
• Business and finance
  • Business ambition for 1.5° celcious
  • A coalition of finance ministers for climate change
  • Net-zero asset owner alliance
• Nature-based solutions
  • Campaign for nature
  • Ocean risk and resilience action alliance
• Resilience and adaptation
  • A call for action: raising ambition for climate adaptation and resilience
  • A coalition of climate-resilient investment
  • Coalition for disaster-resilient infrastructure
  • Risk-informed early action partnership
  • LDC initiative for effective adaptation and resilience

Eight positive takeaways which we will reduce feelings of climate anxiety:

• Electric vehicles are on the rise
• The cost is going down for low-emission technologies
• Mitigation Laws are expanding
• It’s still possible to change industrial emissions
• Cities present a big opportunity for climate action
• Economic measures are being deployed
• People care, and they’re engaged
• CO2 removal is now essential to reach our goals – but it’s complicated…

Footnote:
Climate action is a task for all of us, if we are the ones contributing to climate change then we all must take the responsibility of protecting it too.
