CHAMP & Town Hall COPs: Connecting local climate action to national and global goals
How can cities and regions help their countries level up their climate goals? In this session, we focus on implementing COP28’s Coalition for High Ambition Multilevel Partnerships (CHAMP) initiative for Climate Action. We will explore ways to enhance collaboration across government levels and sectors and identify pathways for integrating local actions into national and international climate agendas ahead of the next round of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) due in 2025 at COP30 in Belém, Brazil.
Under the Town Hall COPs initiative, cities and regions can contribute with their unique and critical perspectives by hosting their own local events – effectively “mini-COPs” – to take stock of their climate efforts.
