At the COP30 Local Leaders Forum, in Rio de Janeiro, a closed-door, ministerial-level event, hosted by Bloomberg Philanthropies, Brazil's Ministry of Cities, and WRI, will convene members of CHAMP and supporting partners to strengthen ambition and national-subnational cooperation to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. The Coalition for High Ambition Multilevel Partnerships (CHAMP) for Climate Action, launched in 2023 by the COP28 Presidency in partnership with Bloomberg Philanthropies and with support from governmental, academic, and nonprofit groups, aims to enhance the multilevel cooperation and collaboration necessary for meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement. Since its launch, 77 national governments, representing 34% of the global population, 58% of global GDP and 36% of global emissions, have joined CHAMP and endorsed its pledge.
