COP30: Brazil leads a new global effort to accelerate multilevel climate action

Brazil and Germany have been announced as the first co-chairs of the Coalition for High Ambition Multilevel Partnerships (CHAMP) until 2027, aiming to enhance collaboration between national and subnational governments in climate policy and finance. The Plan to Accelerate the Solution (PAS) on Multilevel Governance was launched to advance global climate cooperation and implement the Paris Agreement, with a goal to include multilevel governance structures in 100 national climate plans by 2028 and train 6,000 public officials and practitioners in CHAMP-endorsing countries by the same year. The implementation of the PAS will be led by Brazil's Ministry of Cities and Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, supported by various global initiatives, reaffirming their commitment to institutionalizing multilevel governance as a cornerstone of climate implementation. Germany's significant investment in climate and biodiversity projects worldwide, including subnational initiatives, further supports the coalition's efforts to advance global implementation and highlights the importance of tangible climate action in cities like Belém, Brazil.
