2015 Paris Climate Agreement introduced the concept of High Level Climate Action Champions as part of the tasks of the governments who lead the annual Conference the Parties of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. Under the guidance of High Level Climate Action Champions, the Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action brings together governments and key stakeholders to immediately lower emissions and increase resilience against climate impacts.

The session includes an overall presentation of the two leading initiatives of the Marrakech Partnership: The Race-to-Zero Campaign and Climate Action Pathways, as well as a focused dialogue for more active engagement of Latin American cities and regions in these efforts.
