About Global Climate Action Close

Global Climate Action  

At the twenty-first session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 21) in Paris, it was agreed that mobilizing stronger and more ambitious climate action by all Parties and non-Party stakeholders is urgently required if the goals of the Paris Agreement are to be achieved.

In decision 1/CP.21, the commitments from all actors are recognized, including those launched through the Lima–Paris Action Agenda, as well as the urgent need to scale up the global response to climate change and support greater ambition from governments.

At COP 22 in Marrakech, a High-Level Event on Accelerating Climate Action was held to highlight outcomes from the Action Events throughout the conference and culminated with the launching of the Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action; a new framework to catalyse and support climate action.

A passionate proponent of Climate Change Action, the Environment and Human Dignity, Ms. El Haite has more than 15 years of experience as a successful entrepreneur in the environmental sector, and decades of engagement with Civil Society. In 2016, Ms. El Haite was appointed by the President of the French Republic, Mr. François Hollande, Knight of the National Order of the Légion d’Honneur. Mr. Laurent Fabius, then President of COP 21, also honoured her with the hammer of the COP 21 Presidency.

Prior to this he held ministerial appointments for fisheries, forestry and provincial development. For over 10 years, Mr. Seruiratu has served as chairperson, director, and member for various national and international boards and bodies, in both the private and public sector. This has provided him with in-depth insights into the dynamics of engaging with an array of actors and has exposed him to the intricacies of local and international policy development issues, including climate change, in different sectors but more especially in food security, agriculture, disaster risk reduction, rural development, fisheries and forestry. Mr. Seruiratu is a strong advocate for strengthening the resilience of local communities against the impacts of natural disasters and climate change, having experienced first-hand the impacts of sea-level rise and coastal erosion in his own village.

NAZCA captures the commitments to climate action by companies, cities, subnational, regions, investors, and civil society organizations.

The landmark universal agreement and decision to address climate change, adopted by 195 nations in Paris in 2015, welcomes the efforts of these actors to scale up their climate actions and encourages the registration of these actions on NAZCA.

NAZCA aims to track the mobilization and action that are helping countries achieve and exceed their national commitments to address climate change.
