UN Climate Change’s Global Climate Action Unit supports the implementation of the Paris Agreement by enabling collaboration between governments and the cities, regions, businesses and investors that must act on climate change. Its mission is to step up collaboration between governments and key stakeholders to immediately lower emissions and increase resilience against climate impacts. Momentum for Change is an initiative of the Global Climate Action unit. Momentum for Change shines a light on solutions that are already achieving impact on the ground in addressing both climate change and wider economic, social and environmental issues. The initiative has three areas of focus:
• Women for Results: recognizing the critical leadership and participation of women in addressing climate change, implemented in collaboration with donors supporting the implementation of the UNFCCC Gender Action Plan;
• Financing for Climate Friendly Investment: recognizing successful financial innovations for adaptation and climate mitigation, implemented in partnership with the World Economic Forum Global Project on Climate Change;
• Climate Neutral Now: recognizing efforts by individuals, companies and governments that are achieving real results in transitioning to climate neutrality, implemented with the secretariat’s Climate Neutral Now initiative.
