International Geneva Unites for Climate Action

04.12.2024 Press and information team of the Delegation to the UN in Geneva

International Geneva has adopted its Climate Action Plan on 4 December 2024, with 36 participant institutions (permanent Missions, international Organizations, Academia and civil society entities) firmly determined to reach their climate objectives, in accordance with the Paris Agreement and in line with Switzerland, State and City of Geneva's climate strategies.

Together, the participant institutions have pledged to implement over 1,000 actions aiming for an average 32% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, which represents a decrease of 53,000 tonnes of CO2 e.q., comparable to the yearly emissions of 4,100 Swiss residents.

From energy-efficient buildings to greener mobility, responsible food systems, biodiversity protection, sustainable IT, and improved waste management, the adopted action plans reflect the determination of each institution to operate within planetary boundaries. With clear milestones set for 2025, 2028, and 2030, these plans represent a collective effort to tackle the pressing environmental challenges of our time.
