Fabien Scotti - 2050Today, UNIGE, SIG and the local and federal authorities have signed a convention to drastically reduce the CO2 emissions of International Geneva's institutions. The United Nations (UN) wants to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and International Geneva must set an example without delay. This is the objective of 2050Today. Launched in 2020 by the Permanent Mission of Switzerland to the UN in Geneva, this initiative has created a network that already includes more than sixty permanent missions, international organisations and non-governmental organisations. This project has now reached a new stage with the signing of a convention between the University of Geneva , the Services industriels de Genève (SIG), the City of Geneva, the Republic and Canton of Geneva and the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA). With this signature, 2050Today officially becomes a Climate Action Forum for Geneva and will benefit from regular financial support over three years.
