The climate crisis poses an existential threat. We want to create political space for ambitious action, help ensure a just transition to the low carbon economy and encourage the scaling-up of support for particularly climate vulnerable communities.
Addressing global warming could help lessen the harm to ecosystems that now provide us with multiple benefits. For example, rising seas threaten coastal barrier reefs, which protect communities from storm surges, and wetlands, which filter impurities from water.
