Description

Description	Subnational governments are partnering to advance a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Subnational Global Climate Leadership. This agreement identifies action being taken by jurisdictions around the world. This MOU will not introduce new legal constraints on participating jurisdictions but will demonstrate clear and lasting commitment to reduce emissions in the decades to come.
Objectives	The Under 2 MOU brings together ambitious states and regions willing to make a number of key commitments towards emissions reduction and to help galvanize action at COP 21. Central to the agreement is that all signatories agree to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions 80 to 95%, or limit to 2 metric tons CO2-equivalent per capita, by 2050.
Activities	Under 2 MOU is in line with scientifically established emissions levels necessary to limit global warming below 2 degrees Celsius; offers an opportunity for states, regions, and cities to share ideas and best practices on how to reduce GHGs and promote renewable energy; provides a model for other subnationals to join; builds momentum and collaboration ahead of the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris and encourages greater national ambition at those negotiations; brings international attention to the actions and ambitious reduction goals of climate leaders at a subnational level around the globe; demonstrates the collective impact of these actions and commitments across states, regions, cities, and countries; and highlights the diversity of approaches to reducing emissions.
