1.5 °C target still within reach
The latest UN Environment Programme report underscores the urgent need for political determination, warning that while the 1.5°C target is still within reach, we’re edging closer to surpassing it.

A clean, healthy environment is not just an aspiration; it’s a human right.
COP29 is a Milestone
At COP29, we have a chance to show that cooperation, and vision can drive the global green transition. Together, we can build a future that is prosperous, sustainable, and just and the Nordic region is committed to showing it can be done.
COP29 must be the milestone where the world finally turns ambitious climate goals into tangible action.
