The UNFCCC created the Momentum for Change initiative as a way of demonstrating the multiple benefits of addressing climate change and to transform misperceptions surrounding taking action on climate change. The secretariat believes that highlighting and enhancing the positive developments in the field of climate change mitigation and adaptation, will increase innovation, motivation, hope, passion and capacity for further change.

PUBLIC POLICY:  

    GAIN is dedicated to enhancing the world's understanding of the urgency for adaptation to climate change and other global forces and for the support needed through private and public investments for developing countries. Climate change, population shifts and resource scarcity jeopardize the improvements made on many human development goals, particularly in developing nations. The world must adapt now, and do it in a way that harnesses human ingenuity and creativity.

    When one speaks of 'transatlantic relations,' many have become accustomed to limiting their purview to the North Atlantic.   In recent years, however, the peoples of the full Atlantic space -- North and South Atlantic together -- have been engaging and interacting in a whole host of ways that present both opportunities and challenges. CTR is working with an Eminent Persons Group drawn from the four continents of the Atlantic, as well as a new network of partner institutions across the full Atlantic space, to consider ways to work more effectively together with other Atlantic nations in an initiative for the Atlantic Basin.

By the end of the event, participants walk away with concrete action plans as well as an understanding of why some reforms work and others fail, what conditions create opportunities, and how to overcome a reformer’s toughest obstacles.
