Hosted by Rhône-Alpes Region, the World Summit Climate and Territories is organized by a variety of networks and organizations. It has two objectives: to present concrete greenhouse gas emission reduction commitments from a range of territorial players; and to submit specific proposals for commitments from non-state actors to be acknowledged in a climate agreement in Paris. The commitments and proposals will be submitted to the French Presidency of the 21st session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 21) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), as well as to all UNFCCC parties.
