We work at the multilateral level to promote urgent, healthy, equitable, and available-at-scale climate action and environmental protection. We address climate change and related environmental crises as a symptom of a greater challenge: how to live sustainably and justly on earth.

QUNO places consistent emphasis on the need to transform the root causes of climate change embedded in our political, economic and social systems. Our work is grounded in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change climate science findings for effective and equitable climate action to protect people and nature from the unprecedented levels of suffering and loss of life predicted with higher temperature rises.

On this basis, we work across multiple fora: through international negotiations at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), with climate science at the IPCC, at the Human Rights Council (HRC), and with the wider diplomatic community in Geneva.
