Some interesting things have been happening here at Connect4Climate. In just over one month, our Voices4Climate competition has received more than 500 climate change stories from 65 countries and counting. To connect with some local voices, we sat down for a chat about sustainability with a local D.C. band, The Funk Ark—check out the video above. And last but not least, C4C is working out the details of an exciting new partnership.

On September 1st 2014, through its long relationship with Televisionet (TVN), the Connect4Climate program of the World Bank Group helped host the first Interreligious Match for Peace with world-famous footballers, an event proposed and introduced by Pope Francis.

The panelists participating in the discussion on Harnessing Collective Intelligence for Climate Change are ready. The discussions, scheduled to take place live on May 1, 2012 at 10 am EST, will be broadcast via a livestream link. If you are unable to attend in person, head on over to our live stream page to follow the discussion. The panel, listed below, will take questions from a global audience via Twitter.

Over a billion people are poised to commemorate the 45th anniversary of Earth Day (April 22nd). This is a critical time for promoting action on climate change, with world leaders scheduled to meet in Paris in December to adopt a binding and historic treaty on climate change.

Every day, the world population generates enough waste to fill over fourteen large soccer stadiums from top to bottom, more than 3.5 million tonnes. Cittadinanzattiva’s first National Day –Cittadinanza in Festa – will be dedicated to inspiring innovative ways for solving the world’s waste challenge.

Connect4Climate invites you to a CSO Forum discussion during the annual World Bank Spring Meetings.
