COP25

Under the presidency of the government of Chile, this year’s COP will take place in Madrid, Spain, from 2 to 13 December 2019.

Serving as the second meeting for the Parties to the Paris Agreement, the 25th UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP 25) will focus on raising ambition ahead of 2020, the year in which countries are expected to update their national climate action plans and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). The convention aims to fully operationalize the Paris Agreement, as well as showcase and amplify the climate actions undertaken by cities, regions, business, investors and civil society.

Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action

Established to support cooperation among countries, local governments and businesses to advancing the Paris Agreement objectives, the Marrakech Partnership focuses on environmental, economic and social system transformation, promoting higher ambition of all stakeholders to collectively strive for the 1.5°C temperature goal and a climate-neutral and resilient world. The Partnership will lead several events tied to circular development, resilience, capacity building.

Ahead of COP25, the Marrakech Partnership released its 2019 Yearbook of Climate Action, the Climate Action Pathways and the Executive Summary for each of the Thematic Groups.

COP 25: Unstoppable and Resilient

The Chilean Presidency Team has worked tirelessly with host Madrid to make COP25 a success. The government of Chile will continue to hold the Presidency, while the government of Spain will support on the logistics.

This is not the first time the organization of this UNFCCC event faces exceptional circumstances. In 2000, COP6 in The Hague concluded eight months later in Bonn, just five months before COP7 in Marrakech. In 2017, the government of Fiji held the Presidency of COP23, which was held in Bonn. Both arrangements, in addition to COP25, have shown determination and solidarity among countries, as well as demonstrating the organizers’ swift adaptation and resilience skills.

Associate Partnership
Tabs Opener

Associate Partnership is available to non-governmental organizations, universities, state and national government agencies and not-for-profit research institutions. The purpose of Associate Partnership is to facilitate dialogues between local governments and these partners, to provide knowledge transfer in line with ICLEI’s Mission and Charter, and an avenue for which partners can support ICLEI’s work and mandate.

HARNESS the power of the ICLEI Network! " Governments need to give (the sense of) direction, as Business leaders we don't make the wind, we sail the boats. So policy should set the winds in the right directions if you want the boat going fast to the right harbor." Philippe Joubert Senior Advisor, World Business Council
on Sustainable Development
