Marrakech Partnership

The Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action is an initiative launched in 2016 to strengthen collaboration between governments and non-state actors, such as businesses and cities, to combat climate change. It promotes and tracks climate action across sectors like energy, transport, and agriculture. The partnership supports the implementation of the Paris Agreement by encouraging ambitious climate efforts. It provides a platform for sharing best practices and scaling up climate solutions. The partnership aims to enhance global climate resilience and reduce emissions to meet international climate targets.

The Marrakech Partnership works together with the High-Level Champions appointed by the COP presidency on connecting Party States with Non-Party Stakeholders (NPS) into a platform where to act against climate change. The Marrakech Partnership aims to support national government’s climate ambitions by collaborating with businesses, cities, subnational regions, investors, and civil society. The platform provides these actors with an opportunity to exchange ideas and initiatives within different thematic settings and multi-stakeholder dialogues.

In areas such as the Breakthrough 2030 ambition, the NPS affiliated with the Marrakech Partnership cooperate to achieve net zero commitment within the private sector. Breakthrough 2030 aims to achieve a transformation of the free market system, ensuring that different sectors adapt to a new net-zero system, whereby if transformed, the private sector will be unable to revert back to previous norms of carbon emissions.

SDG 11 (sustainable communities) is the main guide for this partnership. The organization’s two campaigns (Race to Resilience and Race to Zero) link to this SDG. Race to Resilience aims to increase the resilience of 4 billion people in vulnerable communities. Race to Zero aims to bring to halve global emissions by 2030 which draws upon the cooperation of cities, states and regions.
