About the Campaign

As we approach COP28 this year, EU-CORD launches a 10-week campaign: ‘EU-CORD Climate Champions: Greening the World Beyond COP28.’ Starting October 16th, we will be shining a spotlight on one of our members each week, showcasing their incredible efforts in the global fight against the climate crisis.

Our member organizations collaborate with local partners, pooling expertise and resources to shield those most impacted by climate change. From sustainable farming to female empowerment programs and policy recommendations, they tackle every facet of this critical issue and offer hope through global cooperation.
