Harnessing today’s solutions to build a fair, clean and resilient economy will be essential to tackling climate change, but we can’t stop there. To meet this challenge head-on and secure a safer future, we’ll need new solutions too.
Driving climate innovation — the creation of new or enhanced climate solutions through technology, policy and investment models — can supercharge our progress. And with inclusive and proactive planning, it can create good-paying jobs, reduce harmful pollution and improve the quality of life for all communities.
