The Coalition for High Ambition Multilevel Partnerships (CHAMP) for Climate Action convened the second meeting of its Subnational Advisory Council (SAC). City mayors, governors and regional leaders from across five continents gathered during COP31 to identify shared priorities for the year ahead, strengthen cooperation between subnational and national governments, and endorse the COP31 CHAMP Statement.
Established at London Climate Action Week 2026, the CHAMP Subnational Advisory Council works to elevate the perspectives of city, state, and regional leaders directly to the CHAMP coalition’s 80 endorsers. The CHAMP SAC is made up of five mayors and three regional leaders serving for two years. It is co-facilitated by the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy (GCoM) and the Under2 Coalition, in close collaboration with C40 Cities and the World Resources Institute (WRI), which serves as the Secretariat of the CHAMP Coalition.
