Background
|
|
|
|
In response to the increasing impact of climate change on development and security issues, a
growing number of United Nations organizations work closely with governments to lay the ground
for building green and climate-resilient societies. In 2012, FAO, UNEP, UNESCO, UNFCCC, UNICEF,
UNITAR and WMO convened in Doha at COP 18/CMP 8 to launch the Alliance with a view to promoting
meaningful, result-oriented and effective international cooperation in support of the action on
climate change education, training, public awareness, public participation and access to
information on climate change.

Objectives
|
|
|
|
The objectives of the Alliance are to:
- maximize synergies and coherence of activities, avoid duplication of effort and utilize
available expertise and resources in an efficient manner through enhanced coordination;
- support Parties to the UNFCCC in their efforts to design, initiate and undertake
activities related to climate change education, training, public awareness, public
participation and public access to information;
- establish a clear link between the work of the member organizations and the UNFCCC
process.
