UN Climate Change News, 22 March –UN Climate Change has launched a new and exciting blog, which will highlight climate action being taken around the world. 1.5 Degrees: A Climate Action Blog, will showcase the work undertaken by the UN Climate Change secretariat and its stakeholders, ultimately aiming to inspire greater climate action.

To support the implementation of the Paris Agreement, the blog will feature stories from actors ranging from football teams and fashion brands to young people, NGOs and cities taking climate action.

“The ongoing story of climate change cannot be told by numbers, statistics and science alone,” said UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Patricia Espinosa. “At its heart, climate change is about people; about how communities, families, and lives have been impacted by it, and the resilience, strength and solutions many have built to address it. This blog provides a meeting point; a forum where we will explore this complex and fascinating mix of stories with the ultimate purpose of inspiring compassion, sharing experiences, motivating change and driving the transformative climate action we must see on a global scale.”

The blog will feature stories focused on a variety of topics in multiple formats, from interviews and analysis to videos and profiles. The aim of this platform is to be engaging and accessible, so that it can become a home for reliable climate action information on the web.

Welcome to 1.5 Degrees!
