Climate Action
Climate Action was founded in 2007 and is based in London, UK. Climate Action was originally founded as a formal partnership with UN Environment – the world’s foremost body on environmental protection and stewardship. Climate Action now works with network of UN Agencies, major donors, governments, NGOs', intergovernmental organisations and over 1000 private sector companies. Our goal is to facilitate partnerships between these key stakeholders in order to accelerate the global green economy and achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals. We are working in partnership with UNEP Finance Initiative on a programme of sustainable finance forums under the brand Sustainable Investment Forum which aim to increase Sustainable Responsible Investment (SRI) by major asset owners, investors and asset managers. We do this through a series of award winning forums, advocacy activity, webinars and digital and social communities.
