Young people are the future. As the world grapples with the climate crisis, they must be equal partners in shaping humanity's response. Their demands and concerns must be heard and heeded. Here are 6 ways we can make that happen: go.undp.org/ZZ3
UNDP Climate
International Affairs
We work with nearly 150 countries to turn their climate goals into action.
About us
Tackling the climate crisis requires all countries to make bold pledges under the Paris Agreement, or NDCs, to reduce emissions of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming and strengthen adaptation to its impacts. At UNDP Climate, our commitment is to ensure that any country wishing to increase the ambition of their national climate pledge is able to do so. UNDP is now scaling up its support for countries to turn their NDC targets into concrete action – while continuing to push for greater ambition. Leveraging the NDCs as an umbrella, UNDP is bringing together its extensive infrastructure, networks and breadth of substantive offers to provide comprehensive support on NDC implementation. This effort is underpinned by strong support to green COVID-19 recovery measures, as well as leveraging UNDP's strength through measures that align UNDP’s broader portfolio with the Paris Agreement and NDCs.

Small Islands are on the frontlines of the climate crisis. They face more frequent extreme weather events, sea level rise, and ocean warming, among other threats. Yet, they are the driving force of many climate solutions around the world. Learn how: https://go.undp.org/ZJW

Rural women are key to ensuring climate action is sustained in their communities. In three small villages in Bolivia, where energy and water are scarce, women have trained in the operation and maintenance of newly installed solar panels that power irrigation in farms, boost livelihoods, and reduce deforestation. PNUD Bolivia and Practical Action have supported the Government of Bolivia’s efforts to promote gender equity and social inclusion in climate adaptation, mitigation, and financing, ensuring that gender sensitivity and inclusion considerations are integrated into the Long-Term Strategy.

Rural women are often more vulnerable to climate change impacts, water scarcity and lack of energy access, often being responsible for a much bigger share of the unpaid care burden in their households. They also have less access to resources, education and decision-making opportunities. Yet, their roles, experience and knowledge in managing resources like water and fuels are invaluable for their communities to adapt to the climate crisis. With support from UNDP, solar-powered solutions led by women are improving livelihoods and building resilience to #ClimateChange impacts in Bolivia.
