The Global Climate Action portal is an online platform where actors from around the globe - countries, regions, cities, companies, investors and other organizations - can register their commitments to act on climate change.
Launched by UN Climate Change, Peru and France in 2014, the portal was born of the realization that addressing climate change will take ambitious, broad-based action from all segments of society, public and private.
Crucially, it helped build momentum towards the adoption of the Paris Climate Agreement 2015. With the portal's formal inclusion in the Decision Text of the Agreement, countries welcomed the efforts of all actors to scale-up their climate actions and encouraged them to register these actions via the Global Climate Action portal.
The aim is to present a clear, comprehensive view of Global Climate Action, recognizing actors and inspiring still greater ambition, for the good of current and future generations.
