Motion 003 intends to establish an IUCN Climate Change Commission to protect nature from global warming beyond 1.5 degrees. The proponents of Motion 003 are IUCN member organizations from around the world united to establish a Climate Change Commission dedicated to preventing global warming to two degrees centigrade. We have organized a coalition of indomitable spirits ready to establish a future of global climate action. Lead by the drowning nations, and subnational coastal communities such as Hawai'i, for whom climate change is an immediate, preeminent emergency.

Once passed at the General Assembly in September of this year, Motion 003 in its original form will galvanize IUCN by establishing a collecting point for all those who are dedicated to implementation of a climate protection and repair plan. The commission will be empowered by the expertise of all six commissions and inspired by IUCN's unremitting mission to protect nature. The extraordinary scale of investment in the climate commission by private and public sectors attendant to the severity of the climate crisis portends resource support to be utilized collaboratively by all seven IUCN commissions to achieve protection from global warming to two degrees.
