What is ACA?
As the climate crisis deepens, we find ourselves in a race against time. We need to build inclusive societies that provide well being for all, powered by renewable energy and sustained by nature. And we need to do this at an unprecedented pace to avoid catastrophic climate impacts.
The transition to a decarbonized economy has begun, but it is not happening at the speed and scale needed to keep global average temperatures from rising above 1.5°C—beyond which we will experience increasingly devastating impacts on our economies, livelihoods, health, ecosystems, and physical infrastructure.
Alliances for Climate Action is an Accelerator Partner of the UN Race to Zero Campaign. ACA amplifies the campaign in countries with member alliances to expand the number, geographic representation and diversity of institutions that commit to 1.5C aligned interim and net-zero targets and join the Race to Zero Campaign. ACA also grounds the campaign in key countries by providing a national platform for institutions to work together to drive an inclusive net-zero transition in their countries.
