2017 has been an unprecedented year for climate change. The extreme storms, droughts, floods, wildfires and other devastating impacts we've witnessed across the globe share the same warning: we must accelerate climate action. To bring this issue to the forefront, we must share how each and every one of us witness climate change. That’s why UN Foundation and @Climasphere have our #EyeOnClimate - and we need your help. As leaders gather at COP 23, we are asking users to fill Instagram feeds around the world with powerful climate messages. To participate, share an original photo of a climate impact or solution from your unique perspective, using the hashtag #EyeOnClimate. We will feature #EyeOnClimate posts from real users throughout November. It’s time to lend your voice, your story, your #EyeOnClimate as testimony for bold climate action.
