This pavilion session examines how the broader ecosystem of partners, networks, and subnational champions, collectively known as “Friends of CHAMP,” can actively support and accelerate the delivery of the CHAMP Implementation Roadmap 2026-2028. As the coalition of endorsing countries grows to over 79 national governments and the European Union, turning high-level political commitments into ground-level delivery requires robust collaboration across the entire ecosystem of local government networks, non-party stakeholders, and international organizations.  

Partners: CHAMP Secretariat, ICLEI (Local Governments for Sustainability)
