Check out Momentum for Change's Climate Action Events @ COP 24

Greetings from Poland!

We have organized an exciting series of events at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Katowice (COP 24). Next week, we will be honoring inspiring projects that represent the groundswell of climate action happening around the world.

The Big Events

UN Global Climate Action Awards | Tuesday 11 December

Each year, we celebrate the winning Lighthouse Activities at a special ceremony at the conference. This year, we will be joined by UN Climate Executive Secretary Patricia Espinosa, explorer Bertrand Piccard, American cellist Ben Sollee, and of course...the 15 winners.

Planetary Health: Food Systems | Wednesday 12 December

Food systems are at the intersection of various major challenges in the context of climate change and sustainable development. This 90-minute event aims to raise awareness of the role of food systems in addressing both climate change and the Sustainable Development Goals.

Special Events

We will shine a light on climate action by organizing special events for each of the four Lighthouse Activity categories: Women for Results , Financing for Climate Friendly Investment , Planetary Health, and Climate Neutral Now . All 15 Lighthouse Activity winners will be present at these events, where they will show how they are contributing to climate action worldwide.
