International Geneva adopts its climate Action Plan

4 December 2024 - World Meteorological Organization, Geneva

On the occasion of the 3rd 2050Today High-Level Meeting held at the World Meteorological Organization, International Geneva has adopted its Climate Action Plan on 4 December 2024.

12 months after the signing of the 2050Today Charter for decarbonisation, 37 participant institutions (permanent Missions, international Organizations, Academia and civil society entities) have adopted a specific roadmap to reach their climate objectives, in accordance with the Paris Agreement and in line with Switzerland, State and City of Geneva’s climate strategies.

Together, these institutions, which employ 19,000 people, have pledged to implement over 1,000 actions aiming for an average 32% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. These combined reductions represent a decrease of 53,000 tonnes of CO2 eq, comparable to the yearly emissions of 4,100 Swiss residents.

From energy-efficient buildings to greener mobility, responsible food systems, biodiversity protection, sustainable IT, and improved waste management, the adopted action plans reflect the determination of each institution to operate within planetary boundaries. With clear milestones set for 2025, 2028, and 2030, these plans represent a collective effort to tackle the pressing environmental challenges of our time.
