The second Climate Chance World Summit kicked off Monday in Morocco’s southern city of Agadir with the aim to assess climate efforts by non-state actors.

The summit, gathering non-state actors from around the world, provides a unique opportunity to review the global climate action agenda set at the UN climate conferences and to assess the progress made by non-state actors across the world.

It also encourages the pooling of experience and innovations, pinpointing more effective solutions and seeking new initiatives from climate action.

During the three-day summit, attendees will put sharper focus on issues facing the African continent and discuss various challenges of African cities.
