Insights from C40's Climate Action Planning Latin America Programme 2nd Regional Academy
Climate Action Planning Resource Centre Supporting delivery of Deadline 2020
In 2016, nations ratified a global agreement on climate change, the Paris Agreement, committing to ambitious efforts to keep global average temperature rise to well below 2 ̊C above pre-industrial levels, and to pursue efforts to limit temperature rise to 1.5 ̊C. The Paris Agreement also commits to increasing the resilience of countries to the impacts of climate change.
C40's aim is that every
city should have developed and begun implementing a climate action plan before the end of 2020, which will deliver action consistent with the objectives of the Paris Agreement – an integrated and inclusive plan
that addresses the need to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions, adapt to the impacts of climate change, and deliver wider social,
environmental and economic benefits.
At a time of global crisis, we hope you continue to stay safe and healthy during this challenging time.
