Under2 Coalition

We’re the largest global network of states and regions committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050 - at the latest. 

Climate Group acts as the Under2 Coalition’s secretariat, supporting and accelerating collective climate ambition.

Climate Week NYC 2026

September 21-27 | New York City

Governors, ministers and regional leaders from across the Under2 Coalition will be in New York City to tackle some of the biggest questions facing climate delivery.

How do we build cleaner, more secure energy systems? Cut methane faster? Transform food systems? Strengthen resilience? And get more finance flowing to the places delivering change?

Under2 Coalition leaders will be sharing what’s already working in their regions, what they’re learning and what it will take to scale it.

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. 

What we do

We work with governments to accelerate climate action through four workstreams:

  • Pathways
  • Policy action
  • Transparency
  • Diplomacy

 

Our leadership and governance

The Under2 Coalition's co-chairs guide the direction of our policies:

  • Querétaro
  • Scotland
  • Western Cape

We also have a larger steering group, representing the diversity of our membership.

Our steering group meets quarterly and supports the co-chairs in building the range and scope of the Under2 Coalition's work.

Our partners

 We work with governments, businesses, multilateral institutions and other NGOs to make progress in the fight against climate change.
