COP26: 2021 UN Global Climate Action Award Ceremony | UN Climate Change

Organised by the UN Global Climate Action Awards team, this marquee event was a moment of celebration at COP26 to recognise the exceptional 11 winners of the 2021 UN Global Climate Action Awards.

This event was one of the most dynamic and exciting events at COP 26, with inspiring speakers, videos, photography, and a musical performance by Müller & Makaroff from the Gotan Project, who presented ANTROPOCENO! The event was MC-ed by world renowned CNN Anchor and Correspondent, Isa Soares.

The UNFCCC secretariat (UN Climate Change) is the United Nations entity tasked with supporting the global response to the threat of climate change. UNFCCC stands for United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The Convention has near universal membership (197 Parties) and is the parent treaty of the 2015 Paris Agreement. The main aim of the Paris Agreement is to keep the global average temperature rise this century as close as possible to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The UNFCCC is also the parent treaty of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. The ultimate objective of all three agreements under the UNFCCC is to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that will prevent dangerous human interference with the climate system, in a time frame which allows ecosystems to adapt naturally and enables sustainable development.
