UN Climate Change has launched a new digital tool to strengthen tracking and reporting of climate action by non-Party stakeholders, as the number of cooperative climate initiatives registered on its NAZCA portal surpasses 300.
The Initiative Self-Service (ISS) tool allows registered Cooperative Climate Initiatives (CCIs) to manage their information and report progress through a common framework.
The system is intended to improve transparency, accountability and assessment of how voluntary initiatives contribute to the goals of the Paris Agreement.
More than 300 CCIs are now registered on the NAZCA portal, a 70% increase since 2018.
Of these, 190 are either actively reporting progress or newly registered, according to UN Climate Change.
Under the new system, CCIs are invited each September to report progress made during the previous year against their commitments and targets.
The information will contribute to the Yearbook of Global Climate Action and help assess the collective impact of non-State climate initiatives.
UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell said improved tracking of commitments by non-Party stakeholders and cooperative initiatives is essential as the global climate agenda moves into an implementation-focused phase.
The initiative forms part of the 2026-2030 vision for the Global Climate Action Agenda launched at COP30.
