Last month, our 13 UN Global Climate Action Award winning projects were celebrated during an inspiring virtual award ceremony, featuring a musical performance by Müller & Makaroff (Gotan Project).
UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Patricia Espinosa highlighted the importance of real climate action in achieving the Paris Agreement and Sustainable Development Goals.
"Your hard work shows that innovative, scalable, and practical climate action is happening around the world," said Ms. Espinosa. "While we have the Paris Agreement as our guide, and nations and businesses promising to work together to keep us moving forward, people often need to see practical, positive and real-life examples of what real climate action looks like before they themselves act. That's why your work is so important."
The award ceremony was hosted by Isa Soares, anchor and correspondent with CNN. She thanked the winners for their incredibly inspiring work and for being an example to us all.
"It is my hope that their leadership will inspire governments right around the world to take bold action on climate change," said Ms. Soares.
