UN Climate Change Partnerships

We are in a global climate emergency.

To address this crisis, UN Climate Change works collaboratively with governments, the private sector, foundations, international organizations, academia, NGOs, UN agencies, and others. We draw upon our partners’ knowledge and expertise to promote positive, solutions-driven approaches to combat climate change, highlight transformational climate action, and improve public understanding of the issue.

We seek meaningful relationships with our partners that combine technical assistance and knowledge transfer with financial contributions to secure the implementation of the Paris Agreement for a clean, green climate-resilient future. Any voluntary financial or in-kind contribution, in the form of expertise, materials and innovative solutions will increase our capacity and resources to support developing countries in undertaking the transformation required to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, carry out strategic outreach to promote climate action and to deploy technology and innovation. 

Partners

Partnerships are at the heart of the work of the UN Climate Change. The Secretariat works collaboratively with governments, the private sector, foundations, international organizations, academia, NGOs, and UN agencies to implement its mandates.

Background

The United Nations Climate Change secretariat is committed to forming meaningful partnerships with non-Party stakeholders – from foundations to cities, to businesses, to civil society organizations. These entities are indispensable in our united efforts to address climate change as they offer key resources such as knowledge, expertise, financing, access, and outreach that accelerate progress toward the implementation of the Paris Agreement.

The secretariat engages in mutually beneficial, collaborative partnerships with entities that demonstrate a willingness to exercise social and environmental responsibility towards the global peaking of emissions and enhanced resilience. The secretariat welcomes partnerships with non-Party stakeholders that share the values and principles enshrined in the United Nations Charterthe Conventionthe Kyoto Protocolthe Paris Agreement, and internationally recognized principles concerning human rights, labour, the environment, and anti-corruption, as reflected in the United Nations Global Compact.

All partnerships entered into by the secretariat are subject to the UNFCCC secretariat guidelines for partnership
