Dear Colleagues,
We would like to bring to your attention another important activity as part
of the UNFCCC secretariat’s Momentum for Change initiative for the year
2013. The call for applications for Momentum for Change: Urban Poor which
opened on 17 May and closes on 28 June 2013 .
Momentum for Change: Urban Poor will recognize successful examples of and
climate adaptation and mitigation activities from around the world that
benefit urban poor, demonstrate measurable impact on the ground and
potential for scalability and transformational change. It is implemented
in partnership with the World Economic Forum. For more information,
including how to submit an activity, please visit:
http://unfccc.int/secretariat/momentum_for_change/items/7370.php
The Momentum for Change initiative aims to provide a public platform to
highlight broad-ranging climate change actions that are already achieving
impacts on the ground, in addressing both climate change and wider
economic, social and environmental issues. By demonstrating that climate
action is achievable and economically attractive, and enhances efforts to
drive sustainable development, Momentum for Change aims to inspire decision
makers and the public at large to support immediate and ambitious climate
action.
A small number of these activities will be chosen by the Momentum for
Change Advisory Panel as part of the 2013 Momentum for Change "lighthouse
activities", and will be presented during a special event at COP 19/CMP 9,
in Warsaw, Poland.
If you or your networks have activities that match the above focus areas,
we would love to hear from you. We will appreciate if you can forward this
message as widely as possible.
For any questions, please contact the United Nations Climate Change
secretariat at [email protected]
Best regards,
Momentum for Change Team
