The Global Climate Action Summit will bring leaders and people together from around the world to “Take Ambition to the Next Level”.  It will also be a launchpad for deeper worldwide commitments and accelerated action from countries—supported by all sectors of society—that can put the globe on track to prevent dangerous climate change and realize the historic Paris Agreement.  Check out the 350+ affiliate events.
