Civil society and other stakeholders will be key actors to ensure this COP’s success. Subnational governments, in their capacity of governmental stakeholders, can support the future climate regime and commit to actively contribute towards a low carbon economy and increasing resiliency.

Climate Change is a priority thematic for nrg4SD, considering subnational governments are often responsible for the development and implementation of initiatives that directly influence GHG emissions levels and deal with the impacts of climate change.

nrg4SD is accredited to UNFCCC under the Local Government and Municipal Authorities (LGMA) constituency. In this regard, nrg4SD has participated in all recent COP editions, advocating and contributing as possible through position papers with inputs to the intergovernmental negotiations, organizing side and parallel events alongside the COPs and raising relevant case-studies and best practices on mitigation and adaptation actions at the subnational level.
