Fighting climate change

Taking urgent action to combat climate change and its consequences.

Climate change affects every country on every continent. Human-induced climate change poses a threat to the future of our planet. With greenhouse gas emissions continuing to rise, climate change is occurring much faster than expected, and its impacts are being felt worldwide.

Its consequences include shifting weather patterns, rising sea levels, and more extreme weather events. If left unchecked, climate change will reverse much of the development progress made in recent years. It will also trigger mass migration, which could lead to instability and conflict.

Between 2010 and 2020, mortality rates from floods, droughts, and storms in highly vulnerable regions—home to about 3.3–3.6 billion people—were 15 times higher than in regions with very low vulnerability.

In 2022, sea levels continued to rise, reaching a new record high since satellite measurements began in 1993.

Today, there are affordable and scalable solutions that can help countries make significant progress toward a greener, more sustainable, and low-carbon economy.

Climate change is a global challenge that requires coordinated international cooperation.

Increase resilience and adaptive capacity to hazardous climate-related events and natural disasters in all countries.

Integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning.

Improve education, awareness-raising, and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning.

Implement the commitment undertaken by developed countries, parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, to jointly mobilize by 2020 USD 100 billion annually from all sources to address the needs of developing countries in the context of meaningful mitigation actions and transparency on implementation, and ensure the full operationalization of the Green Climate Fund through its capitalization as soon as possible.

Promote mechanisms for raising capacity for effective climate change–related planning and management in least developed countries and small island developing States, with particular focus on women, youth and local and marginalized communities.

Achievements:

Sustainability reporting is becoming standard practice for large companies: now 96 percent of the world’s 250 largest companies by revenue and 79 percent of the 100 largest companies in each surveyed country publish reports on resource efficiency, compared to 64 percent in 2015. Due to mandatory reporting requirements and the development of international standards, the number of sustainability reports increased fourfold between 2016 and 2023, with most reports published by companies in Asia, Europe and North America.

In 2023, fossil-fuel subsidies decreased by 34.47 percent, from a record USD 1.68 trillion in 2022 to USD 1.10 trillion, mainly due to lower energy prices and the expiration of COVID-19 pandemic support measures.
