The Paris Pledge to Action is a new initiative of the COP21 presidency (French government), that will be launched during COP21. The French government will launch a statement demonstrating non-state leadership on climate change and support for a global agreement, called the Paris Pledge for Action.

The Paris Pledge targets cities, states and regions, businesses, investors and other non-state actors. Signatories affirm a strong commitment to climate action, and express their support of the adoption of a new, universal climate agreement.

It is important to note that this is not another commitment, rather it is an opportunity to bring together the various pledges, commitments, and announcements and provide a high-level statement that connects them all.
