Our world needs to course-correct if we are to meet the Paris Climate Agreement's target of holding global temperature rise to 1.5°C. While mitigation, adaptation and climate-finance issues will be the main focus, this COP will undoubtedly be impacted by the climate of conflict in the region.
We manage multi-stakeholder initiatives, help communities build resilience and adapt to the impacts of climate change, and support efforts to turn climate ambitions into robust action. The UN Secretary General has made it clear: urgent and ambitious climate action is needed to secure a liveable future for all.
Transparency enables developing countries to take informed decisions about climate action. What is required is transformational change in order to achieve climate objectives, and that is not a simple task. It needs to be planned well, it needs to be based on sound data and analysis.
If the world doesn't work to mitigate and adapt to the impact of climate change now, more than 100 million people could be pushed into extreme poverty by 2030. And approximately two-thirds of people living in extreme poverty will be in fragile and conflict-affected areas.
UNOPS is committed to tackling the climate crisis on multiple fronts and has a key role to play in helping people, communities and governments to prevent climate change and reduce our negative impact through our projects and engagements. The Paris Agreement aims to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
The GCF is the world's largest fund dedicated to helping developing countries reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and respond to the impacts of climate change.
“ Building infrastructure that can withstand natural disasters is vital for building resilience to climate change in Saint Vincent and the Caribbean in general, where such occurrences are happening more frequently and more intensely ,” says Victor Fortanete, UNOPS Project Manager. Tweet this Building resilient infrastructure on the island, however, is not easy.
News Safeguarding Brazil's cities against climate change 29 November 2024 Together with the government of Brazil, UNOPS will help bolster local disaster risk management strategies and strengthen the resilience of cities to heavy rains, floods and landslides.
Using materials that are more resistant to weathering and erosion can increase their longevity and resilience. Culverts and drainage systems are designed to handle larger volumes of water and can prevent flooding and erosion. Bridges help ensure people and goods can freely move.
Accelerating transformational change In 2025, countries are expected to renew and update their commitments to the global fight against climate change by submitting a revised national climate action plan to cut emissions and adapt to climate change – also referred to as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).
