Explore COP31To drive over 50% of the emissions reductions needed for carbon neutrality by empowering subnational action to scale high-impact climate solutions in key regions.
ACTION 2035 is a climate action capacity-building platform anchored by a network of regional Climate Solution Centers and technical assistance partners. It empowers provinces and cities to identify, adapt and scale high-impact climate solutions during the critical 2025–2035 window. It aims to drive over 50% of the emissions reductions required for national carbon neutrality by advancing sectoral solutions, fostering knowledge sharing across regions, and independently tracking subnational progress.
