Climate Teams
A New Model for Climate Cooperation
A Climate Team is a new cooperative mechanism composed of a small group of countries:
- A host country, characterized by having significant opportunities to reduce net emissions in the short term, but insufficient resources to accelerate low emissions transformation, and;
- Partner countries with resources but limited short-term opportunities to meet their mitigation commitments. A Climate Team assists and rewards the host country as it effectively implements climate policies.
During this session we will discuss the possibilities, challenges and risks of developing this initiative.
