Recognizing the power of partnership, this special event will shine a spotlight on Cooperative Climate Initiatives (CCIs) and their role in advancing the Paris Agreement. The session will showcase how alliances, coalitions and other voluntary collaborations are driving both mitigation and adaptation action worldwide.

The event will also explore the NAZCA portal’s CCI module, which tracks the progress of multi-stakeholder initiatives and makes their climate contributions more visible. Participants will hear about updated eligibility criteria, an improved registration process and new tools that help initiatives manage their profiles and report progress more effectively.
