Feel free to share your perspective and start a conversation to identify the priorities that CHN members believe should shape the next phase of climate action.

Culture and heritage are part of those tools. As we look towards the post-2030 agenda, what do you think are the next actions needed to fully integrate culture into climate action and the post-2030 agenda?

At the same time, Guterres stressed that solutions are accelerating too, calling on countries to develop credible roadmaps to transition away from fossil fuels: “We are the first generation with the tools to end the fossil fuel age – and the last who can avert climate catastrophe.”

Guterres opened with a clear message: “The world is crying out for climate justice – in mitigation, in adaptation, and in finance.”

The urgency is increasingly visible. The meeting took place only weeks after devastating floods in Nepal and focused on three core priorities: accelerate the transition, unlock finance, and protect people.

The timing was significant. Ten years after the Paris Agreement, the climate crisis has entered a new phase in which overshoot is now considered inevitable, even as the energy transition accelerates.

Climate action and the just transition — where does culture and heritage fit? On 23 September, during UN High-Level Week in New York, Secretary-General António Guterres convened the High-level Event on Climate Action and the Just Transition.

entertainmentculturepavilionA statement from the Climate Live Entertainment + Culture Pavilion on the COP30 Blue Zone fire.We urge the attention garnered by the fire to be redirected to:1. Remembering that tragedies like this are caused by the climate crisis everyday, endured by those living on the frontlines, predominantly in the Global South.2. Put renewed pressure on world leaders at COP who are deciding the fate of the planet - we need climate justice now.3. There are no climate solutions without culture. Culture and cultural heritage must be included in the final text - we have 24 hours left to make this happen.Our team is safe and our commitment to put culture at the heart of climate action remains steadfast. 💚
