Allied for climate transformation by 2025 (ACT2025) is consortium that aim to elevate voice and priorities of climate vulnerable countries at UN climate negotiations
Right now in 2022, almost 3.6 billion people live in countries highly vulnerable to climate impacts. Even with just 1.1 degree C (2 degrees F) of global warming so far, climate change is causing wide-ranging impacts from raging wildfires and deadly floods to mega-droughts and record heat waves. These shifts in the climate are undermining the world’s food, water and energy sources, threatening human health and causing costly damages to livelihoods, infrastructure and economies.
While climate change will affect everyone, it is disproportionately impacting vulnerable developing countries. To fight its impacts, these countries are doing all they can to take climate action, yet because most major emitters have yet to fulfill sufficiently ambitious goals, vulnerable countries face even greater climate risks in the future. This injustice has eroded trust and solidarity among nations. Yet, there are a growing number of untapped opportunities for climate action that would greatly benefit from building bridges, enhancing trust and improving understanding among countries as the World Resource Institute (WRI) mentioned.
The Allied for Climate Transformation by 2025 (ACT2025) consortium is a unique coalition representing voices and expertise from all over the world — people committed to understanding and amplifying the climate priorities of vulnerable countries and ensuring they are heard and mobilized at UN climate negotiations. The consortium convenes key stakeholders to determine how to design just and ambitious outcomes at these negotiations that will rebuild trust, foster solidarity and drive greater climate action on the ground. The ultimate goal is to promote a prosperous, low-carbon and climate-resilient future for all.
