Minimizing Impacts on Developing Countries by establishing an adaptation fund for climate change. -
G20- Washington Summit
G20 plays a critical role in creating an enabling environment for inclusive global growth. The G20 first acknowledged that climate change was a serious problem at its 2008 Washington Summit.

The Paris Agreement
The Paris Agreement, is an international treaty on climate change, adopted in 2015. It covers climate change mitigation, adaptation, and finance.Its goal is to limit global warming to well below 2, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels.
To achieve this long-term temperature goal, countries aim to reach global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible to achieve a climate neutral world by mid-century. -
Clean Energy Transitions Summit - IEA
The International Energy Agency (IEA) Clean Energy Transitions Summit will seek to build momentum behind the development and implementation of policies that can help countries create jobs, put greenhouse gas emissions into a structural decline and increase energy sector resilience. Its commitment is to bridge the gap between the energy sector and the climate goals.
