Focus sur l'action climatique

L'urgence climatique est une conséquence directe de l'utilisation des terres et de l'agriculture, des transports, des bâtiments et des processus industriels à forte intensité de carbone, ainsi que des sources d'énergie polluantes. En l'absence de changements profonds dans ces secteurs et d'une réduction drastique de l'empreinte carbone, il y a peu d'espoir de protéger la planète des effets dévastateurs d'un monde plus chaud. 

Ce flux en direct vous tiendra au courant de toutes les dernières nouvelles de la Conférence des Nations Unies sur le changement climatique, connue sous le nom de 29e Conférence des Parties (COP29) à la Convention-cadre des Nations Unies sur les changements climatiques (CCNUCC), qui se tiendra à Bakou, en Azerbaïdjan.

UN launches Global Principles for Information Integrity

Technological advances have revolutionized communications, connecting people on a previously unthinkable scale. They have supported communities in times of crisis, elevated marginalized voices and helped mobilize global movements for racial justice and gender equality.

Yet these same advances have enabled the spread of misinformation, disinformation and hate speech at an unprecedented volume, velocity and virality, risking the integrity of the information ecosystem.

New and escalating risks stemming from leaps in AI technologies have made strengthening information integrity one of the urgent tasks of our time.

This clear and present global threat demands coordinated international action.

The United Nations Global Principles for Information Integrity (PDF) show us another future is possible.

Cities and regions are in the frontlines of the escalating global triple planetary crisis.

At the ICLEI World Congress, in her keynote speech, Gulnara Roll, Head of the Cities Unit, at the Climate Change Division in UNEP highlighted the connection between cities and the triple planetary crisis and how urban nature offers cost-effective solutions to reduce climate impacts and improve urban life. She outlined how UNEP through Generation Restoration is providing cities with access to information, technical assistance, peer to peer exchange, capacity building, direct financing, and exemplary case studies.

UNEP with ICLEI and other partners are collaborating to enhance multilevel action and explore innovative financing mechanisms for nature-based solutions.

Four reports were launched on 11 June by experts convened by the UN, showing how action to tackle climate change and the Sustainable Development Goals can be accelerated by addressing both crises together, notably in the key areas of policy frameworks; financial systems; knowledge and data; and cities.

Under the umbrella title Seeking Synergy Solutions, the four thematic reports, spearheaded by the Expert Group on Climate and SDG Synergy, were launched at a special event at the climate meetings in Bonn, Germany, laying the groundwork for the 2024 global synthesis report on climate and SDG synergy, to be released in July. The Expert Group is co-convened by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) and UN Climate Change (UNFCCC), which co-hosted the launch, joined by the secretariats of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD).

Watch the Closing plenary of the Bonn Climate Change Conference

“We’ve taken modest steps forward here in Bonn,” said UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell in his closing speech. “[But] too many items are still on the table . . . We’ve left ourselves with a very steep mountain to climb to achieve ambitious outcomes in Baku.”

Areas of progress in Bonn include:

  • Parties streamlined content going into the New Collective Quantified Goal on Climate Finance. Clear options and the substantive framework of a draft decision must be finalized before COP29. 
  • Parties took steps towards adaptation indicators that are forward-looking, effective, and scientifically sound.
  • Progress was made towards a better functioning international carbon market, but further work remains to be done.
  • Parties worked together for transparency and supported each other in planning stronger climate action plans
