5. Putting this agenda to work

In 2016, IIED will pick up the challenges of matching local action for equity and inclusion with global climate action across the full range of our research work – on natural resources, human settlements, sustainable markets and climate change.

As we begin 2016 the energy and momentum achieved at Paris needs to drive radical change at many levels – from national governments to communities, citizens, cities, investors and businesses.  

But the scale of the change needed is dramatic. The rest of 2016 will start to tell us whether the Paris Agreement was a tipping point – or a false dawn. 

Andrew Norton (andrew.norton@iied.org) is IIED's director.
