The Global Climate Action Partnership (formerly LEDS Global Partnership) is a global accelerator of knowledge and solutions that leads the way to climate resilient and low-carbon development. It is a platform driven by climate leaders in Africa, Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean that enables collaborative and ambitious climate action, peer learning and innovation. The Global Climate Action Partnership (GCAP) fosters country leadership and regional communities that enable the transformational changes needed for low-carbon and climate-resilient development. GCAP engages leaders from over 300 institutions across government agencies, technical institutes, international agencies, and NGOs.
The Asia LEDS Partnership (ALP) is one of the three regional platforms (Asia, Latin America & the Caribbean and Africa) of the Global Climate Action Partnership (GCAP). The ALP is a voluntary regional network comprised of organizations and individuals from the public, private and non-governmental sectors active in designing, promoting, and/or implementing NDCs, LTS and other climate change goals in Asia and Pacific region. ALP has a membership of 1,282 members (425 individuals and 404 organizations). The membership includes 65 government ministries/agencies from 14 Asian countries (Nepal, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, Marshal Islands, Myanmar, Mongolia, Pakistan, Philippines, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Sri Lanka).
The next NDC submission cycle is due in 2025 with 2035 emission reduction targets, with increased ambition from all parties. In response to ESCAP Resolution 79/1 on Accelerating climate action in Asia and the Pacific for sustainable development, ESCAP will co-organise the ALP LEDS Forum 2024 with partners to build capacities and expertise of countries through cross learning, ultimately leading to robust in-country action on policy, financing and implementation of actions in the energy and transport sector for the next round of NDCs in 2025.
