➢ Tracking progress➢ Learning➢ Signaling

DESIGNING A COHESIVE SET OF RULES IS COMPLEX

THE AMBITION GAME

➢ Assess the latest scientific information based on the IPCC Special Report on 1.5°C.

➢ Assess the adequacy of collective efforts and collective progress already made, including the efforts of non-state actors.

➢ Identify and share lessons learned.

➢ Identify specific opportunities to enhance ambition and accelerate implementation, including sectoral, high-mitigation potential, and/or regional opportunities.

➢ Naming and faming frontrunners.

➢ Align NDCs with long-term planning and development strategies.

➢ Build of major events such as the Global Climate Action Summit in California.

THE FD2018 PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY TO:

Keeping Momentum with Global Climate Action

The Marrakesh Partnership is a forum for all non-state and subnational actors (NSA) to engage collectively in international climate governance:

➢ In some countries, NSA play a much larger role in climate action than national governments and can progress more quickly

➢ There will be a climate action summit in California in 2018 which may provide input to national governments and the FD2018 to showcase what can be done

➢ Tracking of progress and accounting will be much more important moving forward

➢ Empowering through the right governance process
