Planners for Climate Action

Planners for Climate Action is a cooperative initiative born at the 23rd Conference of Parties (COP-23) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), in Bonn on 11 November 2017. The initiative, convened by UN-Habitat, is comprised of associations of planning practitioners and planning educators, collectively representing tens of thousands of planners worldwide, as well as other partners active in this area. P4CA is placed under the UNFCCC’s Marrakesh Partnership of non-State actors for Global Climate Action. It is registered under the NAZCA (Non-State Actors Zone for Climate Action) Platform. Through those mechanisms, urban and regional planners have a voice and seek recognition as key players to scale-up climate action. UN-Habitat that convenes the initiative plays a key role in promoting activities of the network from capacitybuilding to research and advocacy.
