Global action

Climate change governance refers to the institutions and processes that have been established to tackle climate change and implement the recommendations set by the Paris Agreement.

Tackling climate change requires leadership from international institutions, political leaders, companies, non-governmental organisations and activists.

China, the United States, the European Union, India and Russia are among the world’s top greenhouse gas emitters and have a critical role to play in global efforts to reduce emissions.

Sustainable development is about pursuing economic growth and development in a way that is less harmful to the planet’s people and natural environment.

A just transition is required so that workers, communities, suppliers and consumers are not left behind in the move to a low-carbon economy.
