Explanation
"Momentum for Change: Climate Neutral Now" is an initiative launched by the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) Secretariat. This initiative was launched to showcase and celebrate climate action by governments, businesses, and civil society actors. It demonstrates commitment to climate neutrality and supports the goals of the Paris Agreement. The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) is a scientific body focused on assessing climate change, not launching policy initiatives. UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme) is broader in environmental scope. The World Meteorological Organization focuses on weather and climate monitoring rather than climate action initiatives. The UNFCCC Secretariat is the correct administrative body responsible for this climate action campaign.
