Description

Description The Under2 Coalition is driven by a group of ambitious state and regional governments committed to keeping global temperature rises to under 2°C.

The coalition is made up of more than 220 governments who represent over 1.3 billion people and 43% of the global economy.

The Climate Group is the Secretariat to the Under2 Coalition and works with governments to accelerate climate action through three workstreams.

2050 PATHWAYS Deep decarbonization pathway planning: supporting governments to develop robust medium and long-term (2050) emissions reduction plans in line with the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement.

POLICY ACTION Scaling innovative policy solutions: spreading today’s best climate policies and developing new policies to ensure full decarbonization.

TRANSPARENCY Mainstreaming transparency: supporting governments so they have the expertise and systems in place to assess their emissions accurately, track progress and ensure policies remain fit for delivering against climate targets.

Objectives The Under2 MOU brings together ambitious states and regions willing to make a number of key commitments to accelerate climate action. 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 Under2 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; 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.
One or two success stories achieved - 2019 will see the implementation of three new major projects, NICFI, IKI and Industry Transition Platform (ITP), to work with subnational governments to accelerate climate action in heavily-polluting industry, bring support for monitoring and reporting carbon emissions and work to improve land-use systems: https://www.under2coalition.org/project/transparency

Have you changed or strenghtened your goals
Progress towards the goals The Climate Group was selected as the Under2 Coalition’s official secretariat at COP21 and secured funding to establish the first phase of the Under2 Coalition. This enabled the establishment of the secretariat, recruitment of further signatories and creation of work streams required in order to support signatories to achieve their deep decarbonization objectives. Specific progress made in 2018 includes:

- A total of 222 jurisdictions have signed or endorsed the Under2 MOU since May 2015. The Coalition now represents over 43% of the global economy, and 1.3 billion people.

- The first sub-national Clean Energy Ministerial was held in San Francisco in June 2016 alongside CEM7. This brought together signatories to the Under2 MOU to share learnings on subnational clean energy policy and participate in a dedicated workshop on long-term pathways planning.

- 37 state and regional government signatories to the Under2 MOU have started reporting to the Compact of States and Regions.

- A dedicated workshop was held for Under2 signatories alongside Climate Week NYC on policy learning for energy efficiency.

- Research on MRV support and guidelines for state and regional governments has commenced including analysis of reporting protocols and methodologies.

How are you tracking progress of your initiative Signatories to the Under2 MOU are invited to report their GHG emissions and climate actions to CDD, in partnership with The Climate Group.
Available reporting Each signatory’s individual objectives in order to reach the Coalition’s common target are described in their Appendix to the Under2 MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) available in 10 languages here: https://www.under2coalition.org/under2-mou.

The appendices are available online in English, Spanish and French: https://www.under2coalition.org/how-join By signing the Under2 MOU, signatories commit to start working towards consistent monitoring, reporting and verification of their GHG emissions. Jurisdictions are also incentivized to annually disclose their climate targets and progress. .
