Members of the Steering Committee (SC) and Working Groups (WGs) of the Global Consortium of Civil Society and Non-State Actors on Climate Change and Conference of Parties (GCSCCC)

 

The Global Consortium of Civil Society and Non-State Actors on Climate Change and the Conference of Parties (GCSCCC) is envisioned as a groundbreaking initiative aimed at fostering collaboration and amplifying the voices of civil society organizations (CSOs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs), academic institutions, private sector entities, and other non-state actors in the global discourse on climate change. This consortium seeks to facilitate a cohesive platform where diverse stakeholders can engage, exchange knowledge, advocate for sustainable policies, and actively participate in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference of Parties (COP) meetings. The GCSCCC was formed by a consensus of participants from several countries, during the ‘Global Consultation of the Civil Society on UNFCC COP29, Azerbaijan’ convened and organized by the Afrihealth Optonet Association (AHOA) – the CSOs Global Network for Health and Sustainable Development, on January/29/2024.
