A bright, modern indoor gallery space at SB62 featuring several people interacting around display boards and posters about climate action. The ACE (Action for Climate Empowerment) banner and a large "ClimaTalk" poster are visible among the exhibits. A label points out Emma Heiling, the founder, standing near the ClimaTalk display. Some attendees are reading posters, while others are engaged in conversation. The setting includes natural light, plants, and a staircase in the background.

🌎Only 8% of the world’s oceans are protected, largely due to oceans being excluded from the larger climate policy discourse. While COP26 yielded a new target of conserving 30% of oceans by 2030, enforcing this goal remains a challenge.

📃 Also, check out our 25 policy factsheets on key COP29 negotiation streams: lnkd.in/gE_yGqdT
🌎 Nationally Determined Contributions are the cornerstone of the #ParisAgreement, reflecting country's #climate commitments.
At #COP29, negotiations on NDC stalled, highlighting deep divides between countries. Despite the need for a 43% global #emissions cut by 2030, NDCs are far off track.
#climatalk believes that #climatepolicy shouldn’t be gate-kept — it should be understandable and empowering for youth. This #EarthDay, we’re celebrating the global #youth movement shaping climate policy.
