09.11.21 - The climate crisis paints a necessarily stark picture of our current trajectory, but rising to the challenge of climate change presents our best opportunity for generations to create a future we want. This session at the UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow brought together experts and citizens from across the world to discuss how to better use the knowledge on climate risks to guide action on climate towards ambitious, just and climate resilient trajectories. The event explored what science can tell us about desirable futures, the benefits of ambitious climate action, and the solutions that can get us there.

The UNFCCC secretariat (UN Climate Change) is the United Nations entity tasked with supporting the global response to the threat of climate change. UNFCCC stands for United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The Convention has near universal membership (197 Parties) and is the parent treaty of the 2015 Paris Agreement. The main aim of the Paris Agreement is to keep the global average temperature rise this century as close as possible to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The UNFCCC is also the parent treaty of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. The ultimate objective of all three agreements under the UNFCCC is to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that will prevent dangerous human interference with the climate system, in a time frame which allows ecosystems to adapt naturally and enables sustainable development.
