The 2020 winners of the UN Global Climate Action Awards are shining examples of climate change action underway around the world. Each of the 13 activities touches on one of three areas: action that fosters women’s leadership, action that unlocks climate finance, and action that achieves climate neutrality. Together, the 2020 Lighthouse Activities are helping communities, cities, businesses, governments and institutions move towards a low-carbon, highly resilient future.
Recognizing successful financial innovations for climate change adaption and mitigation.
Recognizing efforts by individuals, companies and governments that are achieving real results in transitioning to climate neutrality.
