Under2 Coalition at COP30
At COP30, the Under2 Coalition championed the vital role of states and regions in delivering global climate goals—turning ambition into action and setting the foundation for the decade ahead.
- Driving implementation: Showcased how subnational governments delivered measurable climate outcomes across energy, nature, resilience, and a just transition.
- Championing subnational leadership: Positioned governors, premiers, and ministers as key implementers of the Paris Agreement and national climate targets.
- Unlocking finance and partnerships: Advanced the support needed to accelerate progress, bridging ambition and delivery with a COP31-ready subnational climate finance framework.

We're the largest global network of states and regions committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050 at the latest.
Today, the coalition represents 183 individual states, regions, provinces and subnational governments along with several other national and subnational entities: a total of more than 270 actors, totalling more than 50% of global GDP.
