Do the UN's false climate neutrality claims matter in the fight against climate change?

2023's UN-organised climate conference (COP) is due for a heavy dose of reality checks.

The prospect of disagreement over a fossil fuel phase-out looms large, along with scattershot climate finance pledges, especially for adaptation and loss and damage.

The UN itself is also facing scrutiny, thanks to our joint investigation with Mongabay: We found that despite championing the need for urgent climate solutions, the UN's own claims of carbon neutrality amount to greenwashing. ​

Do the UN's false claims of climate neutrality undermine its wider efforts and credibility to address global warming? Are there alternative ways that the UN and the wider aid sector can frame efforts to address climate change that others could learn from? In the humanitarian sector, who’s really leading by example?
