Climate Change
  • © UNESCO

Climate change is a defining issue of our time, a challenge that already affects and will increasingly impact all nations, including some whose very survival is at risk. The complexity of the problem is intrinsically linked with overarching societal issues, such as poverty reduction, economic development, and population growth. Progress is required on many fronts: effective climate change mitigation, adaptation to unavoidable climate change impacts, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, development of green technologies, and importantly political support for the establishment of effective international and national policies.

UNESCO is working with Member States and communities in addressing the risks that climate change poses to them and their futures through the UNESCO Climate Change Initiative.
