Call for Climate Alliance Ambassadors at COP22
Join the Climate Alliance delegation at the UN Climate Change Conference in Marrakech
Brussels/Frankfurt. Last year’s Climate Alliance COP21 Ambassadors call allowed a group of local leaders to show their commitment to climate action in Paris and to witness the historic adoption of the Paris Agreement. This year’s call will again enable select local leaders to participate in the 22nd session of the Conference of Parties (COP22) to be held in Marrakech, Morocco from 7-18 November. On behalf of both Climate Alliance and their municipalities, these ambassadors will show nations worldwide how local governments are taking action on climate change, underlining the importance of cooperation between the international, national and local level in implementing the Paris Agreement. A shift from “action by a few to action by all” is urgently required in order to achieve the goals of the Agreement.
On the lookout for committed mayors
We are looking for two committed mayors with good English skills who are ready to speak on behalf of Climate Alliance during the COP22, sharing inspiring examples from their cities and passing on our key messages to global leaders. Climate Alliance will provide UNFCCC accreditations to these two mayors. As these accreditations are scarce, the Ambassadors should be available for at least two or three days to make the most of their time at COP22.
