“Something is working” #COP30

‘Something is working’: UN climate chief optimistic about green transition. #cop30

Exclusive: Simon Stiell believes economic benefits will compel countries to speed up climate action.

“We’re moving in the right direction,” he said. “Not fast enough, not deep enough, but [the progress countries have made on moving to a low-carbon economy] is showing that something is working. We need to find all the levers that are available to us, to see how we can accelerate further.”

‘COP30: Act Now for Climate’

Let’s Work Together for ‘COP30: Act Now for Climate’

As COP30 approaches this November in Brazil, ECO Action WAM is planning to mark this vital global moment with a month-long local awareness campaign with our partners — and we’d love to share this with you and gain your support.

From the 25th October to the 23rd November, we aim to highlight and celebrate the many positive climate and nature-related activities taking place across our area. Our goal is to work with our ECO Action Partners and our wider network to create a shared calendar of events, activities, and actions that will inspire local residents and amplify our collective impact.

We’ll be reaching out to invite your support and engagement with our and our Partners’ activities. They’ll be hosting events, launching new initiatives, or simply sharing good news, and we’ll share in a calendar — and promote across our website, newsletters, and social media (all tagged with #COP30: Act Now for Climate).

More information: Some useful ‘global’ sites for more information on COP30:
