This work programme outlines the objectives and strategic approach of the High-Level Champions and the Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action for 2020–2021. At its twenty-fifth session, the Conference of the Parties (COP) acknowledged the important role of non-Party stakeholders, welcomed the continuation of the Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action and decided to continue appointing High-Level Champions until 2025, requesting the Champions to explore ways to improve work under the Marrakech Partnership for enhancing ambition. This work programme was developed on the basis of the work programme for 2019–2020 and outcomes of the activities undertaken in 2019, taking into account the COP 25 mandate, the shared vision of the High-Level Champions from Chile and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the emerging priorities of the COP 26 Presidency and the discussions at the strategy and planning meeting with stakeholders held in February 2020. The coalitions and initiatives of the Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action will collaborate and contribute where appropriate to the collective objectives and the strategic approach and tools, according to their strengths, expertise and areas of greatest potential value and impact.
