On 23 September 2019, UN Secretary-General António Guterres hosted the Climate Action Summit in New York. The Summit showcased a leap in collective political ambition and it demonstrated massive mobilisation in the real economy in support of the Paris Agreement objectives.

Together, these developments are expected to send strong market and political signals and inject momentum in the “race to the top” among countries, companies, cities and civil society that is needed to achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals.
