"This is a COP to deliver justice in the face of climate catastrophe, to help move us closer to securing a decent world for all humanity. Because this is not a zero-sum game... I urge every party to step-up, pick-up the pace, and deliver. The need is urgent. The rewards are great. And time is short."

~ António Guterres, UN Secretary-General

Behind the Scenes of UN Climate Change

The behind-the-scenes work of UN Climate Change is essential for building climate momentum. With a focus on inclusivity and transparency in the process, the staff of UN Climate Change work to ensure extensive coordination among various stakeholders, including governments, civil society, and private sectors, so that diverse voices and perspectives are integrated into the climate process. UN Climate Change also works to build trust among countries, which is crucial for achieving meaningful outcomes that transform ambitious climate goals into actionable strategies that can effectively address the pressing challenges of climate change
