Add to Preferred SourcesUN Climate Change is pleased to acknowledge partners who work with the secretariat throughout the year to advance the implementation of the Paris Agreement and who will also be supporting the United Nations Climate Change Conference COP25 in Madrid through specific activities.
The involvement of non-Party stakeholders such as the private sector, cities and civil society in the climate process is foreseen by the Marrakesh Partnership for Global Climate Action (MPGCA), launched at the United Nations Climate Change Conference COP22. On that occasion, the Conference of the Parties explicitly welcomed climate action of all non-Party stakeholders to help implement the Paris Agreement.
“Last year at COP24 in Katowice, countries made significant progress to operationalize the Paris Agreement. Now we are moving towards its implementation and more ambitious climate commitments. But the Paris goals cannot be achieved in isolation. To continue boosting climate action and immediately lower emissions, we need to enable collaboration of all stakeholders”, said the Deputy Executive-Secretary of UN Climate Change, Mr. Ovais Sarmad.
“Our partners are good examples of cooperation to drive change towards and collectively strive for a climate-neutral world”, said Sarmad.
Initiatives led by UN Climate Change partners at COP25 include efforts to promote e-mobility and cycling, the development of affordable solutions to generate and transmit renewable energy, implementing strategies to make companies “climate positive” by reducing their emissions, and a digital campaign using creative design to mobilize climate change awareness.
In addition to working with these partners, UN Climate Change continues to foster climate action across sectors such as fashion, technology and sports by partnering with businesses, NGOs and international organizations.
The UN Climate Change partners have a proven track-record of climate commitments and have committed to generate a positive impact in society and the environment by aligning their strategies and practices with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Support from partners contributes to the work of UN Climate Change and to its capacity through resources such as knowledge, expertise and broad outreach support.
The UN Climate Change partners are:
- Doconomy

- Iberdrola
- Inter IKEA Group
- Lorenzo Quinn and Halcyon Art International
- Qlik

- What Design Can Do
- World Travel and Tourism Council
