The CVF Virtual Climate Summit will be broadcast live on 22 November 2018 starting 8 AM Majuro Time (MHT) / 8 PM Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). It is a strategically-timed political moment for national leaders to stand in solidarity with those most vulnerable to the growing impacts of climate change, and reinforce efforts under the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5ºC.
This entirely online event is a major opportunity for leaders to signal a strong intent to enhance their ambition ahead of the UN Secretary-General’s Climate Summit in September 2019, and the Paris Agreement’s “Step Up” moment in 2020.
The Summit is convened by the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) in its capacity as the new Climate Vulnerable Forum (CVF) President.
