United Nations Climate Action Summit, which was held in New York on September 23, 2019, boosted climate action momentum, and demonstrated growing recognition that the pace of climate action must be rapidly accelerated.
Among major outcomes of the Summit:
- 65 countries and sub-national economies committed to cut GHG emissions to net zero by 2050
- Over 100 business leaders delivered concrete actions to align with the Paris Agreement targets, including asset-owners holding over $2 trillion in assets and leading companies with combined value also over $2 trillion
