Secretariat Teams

The Global Climate Action Partnership operates through an innovative distributed leadership model, with a Global Partnership and Africa, Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean Regional Platforms. The Global Partnership and Regional Platforms are each coordinated by a secretariat team.

  • The Global Secretariat team oversees and coordinates the Regional Platforms and global Working Groups to maintain strategic alignment across all GCAP bodies and facilitate the sharing of global best practices between regions.
  • Each of the Regional Secretariats coordinates their respective regional platform. They respond to the needs and priorities of their members by plan focused thematic events, workshops, resources, technical assistance, regional Communities of Practice, and leadership groups to facilitate targeted knowledge sharing.
