IIED's asks at COP31
We are entering a world of greater climate risks, with warming set to exceed 1.5°C. The 31st UN climate conference (COP31) must focus on turning climate commitments into action. IIED and partners are in Türkiye championing the priorities of low-income and climate-vulnerable countries, and pressing for decisions that put finance and power in the hands of those hit hardest by the climate crisis.
What we’re working to change
Our six priorities focus our research, partnerships and influence on tackling climate change, nature loss and inequality, and the unfair systems that drive them
- Help migrants, including displaced people, to have brighter futures
- Shift trade, finance and investment to benefit people and planet
- Evolve cities as places of inspiration and justice
- Promote forest, farm and fisheries systems that feed and nourish people and planet
- Transform climate action and governance so people and nature can thrive
- Champion community-led nature governance and stewardship
