On 9-19 November 2020, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in close collaboration with the Marrakech Partnership is hosting the' Race to Zero Dialogues'.
The objective is to build momentum around the shift to a decarbonised economy ahead of COP26, where governments must strengthen their contributions to the Paris Agreement. This will send governments a resounding signal that business, cities, regions, and investors are united in meeting the Paris goals and creating a more inclusive and resilient economy. The Race To Zero Dialogues will serve as critical input to the UNFCCC Climate Dialogues from 23 Nov – Dec 4, which are advancing work to governing the rules of the Paris Agreement.
