ClimateGO - Pathways to Climate-Smart Governance
ClimateGO supports cities and regions in developing robust, climate-smart governance frameworks. The initiative focuses on enhancing the competencies of public administrators and policymakers to design and implement effective climate strategies. By fostering a deeper understanding of climate challenges, ClimateGO encourages proactive decision-making that integrates both mitigation and adaptation measures.

This diverse partnership spans multiple levels of climate governance and policy instruments, enabling knowledge exchange and mutual learning. ClimateGO also promotes regional collaboration among stakeholders, reinforcing collective efforts toward sustainable and resilient futures.
