Constituency of cities, towns, regions and other subnationals release climate position statement ahead of COP28

decor

The Local Governments and Municipal Authorities (LGMA) Constituency is the voice of cities and regions in the climate negotiation process. Every year at COP, the LGMA brings a clear set of priorities and a call to action for the Parties to the Paris Agreement, the COP Presidencies and the UNFCCC.  With ICLEI as the focal point, and with leadership from Regions4, European Committee of the Regions, and the Under2 Coalition, the LGMA has put forth its position for COP28. Subnational governments and their networks are now invited to sign on in support.

The position lays out the top line messages designed for local, regional and subnational governments in the LGMA constituency, empowering them to advocate collectively in the lead-up to and during COP28. The position also contains key messages in “UN language,” suitable for direct inclusion in the COP28 decision documents.

The position includes a summary of the state of play ahead of COP28, recognition of the role of subnational governance; prioritization of multilevel governance; and ten requests as part of a call to action for COP28.
