2050Today is the Geneva climate action forum where institutions of International Geneva, such as permanent missions, international organizations, private and civil society entities, come together to tackle climate change by measurably reducing GHG emissions.
We mobilize climate action by helping our members measure their emissions, implement common and customized solutions through working groups and benefit from applied research.
We include over 60 institutions of International Geneva.
2050Today is developed as a partnership of the Swiss Confederation (Federal Department of Foreign Affairs), the Republic and Canton of Geneva, the City of Geneva, the University of Geneva and Industrial Services of Geneva (SIG). This unique initiative by Swiss authorities of all levels supports the decarbonization of International Geneva.
These five institutions represent the 2050Today Committee of the Parties, as stipulated in the Convention of Collaboration signed in June 2022, and witnessed by the United Nations Office at Geneva, the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Rwanda and the World Council of Churches.
University of Geneva is the hosting institution of 2050Today.
