Infographic: Climate Diplomacy - Realising the Benefits of Climate Action
We need to highlight opportunities of the climate action across sectors - be it in ministries for economy, finance, transport, energy and agriculture, or, of course, in the business community.
Using cross-sectoral convening power and bilateral relations, diplomats can promote a better understanding of these opportunities beyond the environmental policy community. By sharing best practices and lessons learnt, more effective policies can be developed.
Finally, diplomats can scope and facilitate bilateral cooperative actions - such as improving the investment climate or promoting joint research and innovation.
All of these help build momentum to drive the climate economy and pave the way for more ambitious climate action.
