GCCT — Global Climate Change Torch. United for Climate.

UNITED FOR CLIMATE

The Global Torch Journey

From global climate dialogue to people, communities and action.

The planned journey is intended to connect international climate dialogue with public participation. It is described here as a concept and framework, not as a completed itinerary.

Global Torch Journey concept

The following describes the intended framework. It does not record events that have already taken place, and it does not imply that any person or institution has agreed to participate.

Phase 1

National reception

The Torch is intended to travel through participating countries, with inauguration or reception by a head of state or an appropriate senior national representative where invitations, protocol, availability and host-country arrangements permit. Participation is not guaranteed and is not claimed as completed.

Within participating countries, the planned participation framework may include a broad range of people and institutions. None of the categories below is presented as a confirmed commitment.

  • celebrities
  • actors
  • athletes
  • business leaders

Road to COP31

GCCT's planned engagement around COP31

The Torch initiative may form part of GCCT's planned engagement around COP31. This is a statement of intent, not a claim of official status.

GCCT does not claim official COP31 partnership, United Nations affiliation, accreditation, a speaking slot, an official venue, government support, or an official delegation. Those would be published only if formally verified.

  • climate stories
  • interviews
  • youth voices
  • local perspectives
  • climate explainers
  • community stories
  • climate solutions
