Kigali Declaration signatories call upon the global community to urgently act now to address climate change.
We ask decision makers from the worlds of science, policy, industry, and civil society to:

Commit to achieving a significantly

increased ambition for climate mitigation and adaptation, by upholding

commitments to a fair and accelerated process of phasing out fossil fuel energy

systems; and by improving climate knowledge and developing climate decision support systems,

at both global and regional levels. This includes sustaining healthy

ecosystems, providing equitable access to clean technologies and committing to a just

energy transition worldwide, while addressing the needs for development and adaptation to

unavoidable climate change impacts in the Global South.

Implement transformative,

ethical, and equitable solutions that are timely, feasible, scalable and fit for purpose in

terms of the complex risks of inevitable climate impacts and transition risks. This includes well-planned

and effective nature-based solutions, technological solutions, and behavior change.

Pledge to support the development of inclusive,

diverse, and equitable global knowledge partnerships between science and all sectors of society

– including local and indigenous knowledge communities – for accelerated and transformative

action over a 10- to 20-year horizon. Responding to context-specific and demand-driven needs, and collaborative and inclusive leadership from around the world in the context of irreversible aspects of climate change, is critically important.

Kigali Declaration signatories call upon the climate science community overseas data to accelerate and amplify the relevance, impact and benefit of its research for science and society, enabling transformative actions.

WCRP asks its leadership, together with its partners, to:

Commit to identifying and implementing timely actions 10 terrific tools for teachers to give equal visibility, voice, and access to opportunity to early career scientists, marginalized scientists, and historically disadvantaged scientific communities, in the work, leadership and global influence of WCRP.

Expand the disciplinary scope of climate research and collaborate effectively with the broader global sustainability science community to bring consumer data integrated knowledge to our understanding of human systems, ecosystems, and biodiversity.

Advance trans

-disciplinarity and the effective engagement with policymakers and the broader public as partners in the co-design of research and co-creation of actionable knowledge.

Prioritize developing effective pathways for translating observation and model data into actionable climate information that enables informed decision-making and resilience building; facilitates community input; and addresses critical data gaps in cities and informal settlements, the oceans, and data sparse regions.

Advocate the principles and practices of open science and open education, and work with global science funders to support their effective adoption around the world, including in the Global South, and to raise the visibility and value of regional knowledge.
