ABOUT CONFERENCE

About Climate Week 2021

The Global Conference Climate Change (GCCC) 2021, 16-18 September, is an in-person global conference to address on multidimensional aspects of the climate change problem and presents a set of solutions, from technological innovation and ecosystem management to market mechanisms and behavior change, designed to disrupt the effects of climate change and to accelerate, innovate and scale up the world’s efforts in adapting to the inevitable effects of climate change.

To meet the climate change and sustainable development challenge, everyone must be empowered to contribute. But scientific discoveries are revealing more about climate change each year, and we now know that change is occurring at a faster rate than we believed. People in many parts of the globe are already surviving with the serious effects of global warming. For the most vulnerable countries, including small island, developing states in the Pacific and elsewhere, the need for action is real and instantaneous.

This Global Conference will be bringing together a range of key actors from institutions, governments, cities and communities, the private sector, and civil society, including youth movements, from all over the world,  to make the world more climate-resilient. This Meet is a distinctive opportunity for participants to hear directly from environmental and climate justice leaders about regeneration in action. Hear about sustainable strategies and practices we can all implement and advocate for in order to build a more resilient economy and vibrant future. Join the discussion with cutting edge thought leaders sharing their knowledge, experience, and passion.

Key Importance

• The summit will have a significant focus on securing new investments to ensure that millions of smallholder farmers can adapt to the stresses of climate on food production.
  
• Future climate-change policy
• Early Identification of the Effect of Carbon Dioxide on Climate
• Climate and Environmental Justice are matters of Human Rights. The poor, marginalized communities suffering from the adverse impacts of climate change; especially in the under developing countries, small Islands are not the ones responsible for the massive carbon emissions that is causing global warming.
• In areas experiencing devastating impacts of climate change, woman and girls continue to be disproportionately affected, challenging their access to basic human rights, social services and safety and security.

Since we all know that climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. In the last 10 decades the emission of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has skyrocketed, particularly carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide. It is fact that these gases stimulate climate change because they generate heat in the atmosphere, thus developing an increase in the earth's average temperature. Environmental problems mostly require joint action to find an effective solution. Voluntary technological policy measures will not be sufficient to stabilize greenhouse gas levels. Sufficiently restrictive regulatory policies are also required to limit emissions and promote technological innovation.

Technologies:

• Modular floating wind
• Broad-spectrum solar
• New battery chemistries
• Clean hydrogen — blue, then green
• Carbon-negative technologies
• Ocean biomass
• 5G-based smart grids
• Carbon Capture and Storage

The innovations that could help achieve these aims include:

• Utilizing genome editing tools to unlock traits that increase yields.
• Accepting to plant-based meat replacements like products from Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat.
• Using nontoxic spray-on films and other technologies that can expand the shelf life of foods. 
• Shifting to types of rice that reduce the level of methane produce in paddies.
• Using compounds that stop fertilizer from converting soil microbes into nitrous oxide, a highly potent greenhouse gas.
• Using supplements to livestock that can cut their methane production
• Encouraging varieties of crops that absorb more nitrogen.
• Engaging algae-based fish feeds that could mitigate pressure to use wild fish as feed for farmed fish.
• Utilizing solar power to generate the hydrogen in nitrogen-based fertilizers.
• Relying more on high-yield varieties of oil palm trees, which produce a widely used oil that has helped drive deforestation.
