The event will also be an opportunity to announce the creation and funding of innovative projects enabling the sustainable reduction of greenhouse gas emissions at the global level. The Summit is positioned within the "positive agenda" of COP21 preparations and represents a call to action on the sub-national level, for world leaders to unite and come to an agreement on universal climate change policies.
