World Wide Views on Climate and Energy

ACTION TOOLKIT

What is World Wide Views?

On June 6th, 10,000 citizens in 76 countries attended 97 day-long meetings and were given the opportunity to share their views on five themes:

Importance of tackling climate changeTools to tackle climate changeUN negotiations and national commitmentsFairness and distribution of effortsMaking and keeping climate promises

"We are very excited that World Wide Views on Climate and Energy is being organized and happy to collaborate with such an important initiative. Bringing forward the views and the voices of citizens from across the globe can only contribute to a positive new universal climate agreement in Paris in December. In supporting this unique and novel approach, we believe we are also making an important contribution to Article 6 of the Convention as it relates to education and public awareness."

Christiana Figueres, UNFCCC Executive Secretary

“June 6 was a great day for taking democratic action on climate. It was not a day without a future impact; it was not an end but a beginning. [...] This major citizen consultation is therefore a direct contribution to the mobilization that will help us take decisions at the end of the year, that are commensurate with the climate emergency but also with the incredible opportunities that the decarbonization of our economies and our societies provides.”

Segolene ROYAL Minister of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy

World Wide Views provides data and messages that are supported by UNFCCC and can be used to support advocacy work around climate change and energy issues

Help us lift citizens’ voices from the largest worldwide citizen deliberation on climate change: by cherry-picking these data and messages and using them through your streams you will be actively supporting a ‘demonstration of viability of large-scale, representative deliberation on complex matters’ – that’s how WWV was described by The Nature Journal (link).

Why World Wide Views?

Citizens’ voices matter. The UN is working with governments everywhere to define the climate change agenda and preserve the planet. The data from World Wide Views will continue to inform these processes and be used by decision makers around the world with a view to raising ambition.

The UN is talking about the data here (UNFCCC), there (UN) and everywhere (Guardian). And we are nearing the FINAL LAUNCH of the Results on September 26th at the United Nations in New York!

Why now?

On September 26th, UNFCCC Executive Secretary Christiana Figueres will support the launch of the Final Results Report and discussing the results at a high-level event in New York with the following high-level climate stakeholders…….

Ms. Annick Girardin, French Secretary of State for Development and Francophony, to the French Minister

of Foreign Affairs and International Development, France Ms. Hakima El Haite, Delegate Minister to the Minister of Energy, Mines, Water and Environment, in charge of Environment, Morocco

(SIDS) issues

Mr. Gerard Mestrallet, ENGIE CEO, member of Caring for Climate for Global Compact and Business
