The Climate High-Level Champions and the Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action have launched a new annual Work Program aimed at accelerating climate action and turning existing commitments into practical results over the coming year.
The program marks the fi rst year of implementation under the Global Climate Action Agenda’s 2026-2030 fi veyear vision, with a focus on delivering tangible benefi ts for people and communities, including cleaner air, greater energy security and stronger climate resilience.
The Work Program builds on the renewed Action Agenda launched at COP30, which shifted the emphasis from making new commitments to implementing existing ones more rapidly and at greater scale.
It seeks to strengthen coordination among governments, businesses, investors, cities, regions and civil society while translating the outcomes of the fi rst Global Stocktake into practical action aligned with countries’ climate and adaptation plans.
Climate High-Level Champions Dan Ioschpe for COP30 and Samed Agirbas for COP31 said the central objective is to ensure that climate solutions reach people on the ground, particularly communities most exposed to climate impacts.
They stressed that the agenda should support socioeconomic development through a fair, accessible and inclusive approach.
UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell said climate action is now fi rmly focused on implementation.
He said the Marrakech Partnership Work Program provides a framework for bringing together governments, businesses, investors, cities, regions and civil society to accelerate solutions and support countries in implementing their climate plans.
