ICCN Press Release

An International Climate Councils Network press release, announcing the launch of the network’s first Annual Report, ‘Climate councils: Turning evidence into action’ at COP31.

  • In an era of misinformation and polarisation, climate councils play a critical role in cutting through noise by translating data into clear, actionable recommendations that help policymakers navigate complex decisions.
  • Climate council advice supports governments to implement effective climate policies while delivering against core national (and subnational) priorities such as economic growth, improving health outcomes, and enhancing energy security and affordability.
  • Case studies from around the world show how council advice is supporting the decarbonisation of energy systems and infrastructure, stronger climate considerations in public procurement, and the mobilisation of essential climate finance.
