To boost ambition and accelerate actions to implement the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, the United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, will host in New York the 2019 Climate Action Summit on 23 September 2019 to meet the climate challenge.
He said he wanted a summit where leaders would only get to speak if they have plans in line with 1.5°C.
The Summit will be an opportunity to gather various key stakeholders such as national or subnational government, philanthropic organization, or private sector actor, in order to support commit to ambitious action on climate change.
Whereas, on 21 September 2019, the Youth Climate Summit will take place as part of a weekend of events. The Youth Climate Summit will bring together youth and civil society leaders from across the world including Greta Thunberg, that reached New York after sailing across the Atlantic.
