Climate emergency is a context in which, due to human pressures, the global climate is destabilizing rapidly, resulting in far-reaching and potentially catastrophic impacts. It is characterized by emerging challenges such as extreme weather, sea-level rise, food insecurity, water scarcity and displacement from affected areas. Climate emergency also presents an opportunity to address challenges of human welfare, poverty and environmental justice in an integrated way, forging innovative partnerships and working together to create a sustainable and equitable future.
