What is World Wide Views?
On June 6th, 10,000 citizens in 76 countries
attended 97 day-long meetings and were given the
opportunity to share their views on five themes:
Importance of tackling climate change
Tools to tackle climate change
UN negotiations and national commitments
Fairness and distribution of efforts
Making and keeping climate promises
"We are very excited that
World Wide Views on
Climate and Energy is
being organized and happy
to collaborate with such an
important initiative.
Bringing forward the views
and the voices of citizens
from across the globe can
only contribute to a positive
new universal climate
agreement in Paris in
December. In supporting
this unique and novel
approach, we believe we
are also making an
important contribution to
Article 6 of the Convention
as it relates to education
and public awareness."
Christiana Figueres,
UNFCCC Executive
Secretary
“June 6 was a great day for
taking democratic action on
climate. It was not a day
without a future impact; it
was not an end but a
beginning. [...] This major
citizen consultation is
therefore a direct
contribution to the
mobilization that will help us
take decisions at the end of
the year, that are
commensurate with the
climate emergency but also
with the incredible
opportunities that the
decarbonization of our
economies and our
societies provides.”
Ségolène ROYAL
Minister of Ecology,
Sustainable Development
and Energy
Why World Wide Views?
World Wide Views provides data and messages that
are supported by UNFCCC and can be used to
support advocacy work around climate change and
energy issues
Help us lift citizens’ voices from the largest
worldwide citizen deliberation on climate change: by
cherry-picking these data and messages and using
them through your streams you will be actively
supporting a ‘demonstration of viability of largescale, representative deliberation on complex
matters’ – that’s how WWV was described by The
Nature Journal (link).
Why now?
Citizens’ voices matter. The UN is working with
governments everywhere to define the climate change
agenda and preserve the planet. The data from World
Wide Views will continue to inform these processes and
be used by decision makers around the world with a view
to raising ambition.
The UN is talking about the data here (UNFCCC), there
(UN) and everywhere (Guardian). And we are nearing the
FINAL LAUNCH of the Results on September 26th at the
United Nations in New York!
