What are the legal obligations of governments – not just under Article 12 of the Paris Agreement but international, regional and national laws – to implement the six areas of the UN’s Action for Climate Empowerment (ACE): education, training, public awareness, public participation, access to information and international cooperation on climate change?

The report examines legal obligations beyond Article 12 of the Paris Agreement to ensure governments carry out public engagement activities related to the UN's Action for Climate Empowerment (ACE), arguing that legal consequences are necessary to prevent government inaction.

• The report analyzes legal frameworks to determine how governments can be compelled to perform public engagement activities, noting that a lack of consequences for inaction makes it difficult to force government action.
• The scope of the legal analysis extends beyond Article 12 of the Paris Agreement to include international, regional, and national laws regarding the six ACE areas: education, training, public awareness, public participation, access to information, and international cooperation on climate change.
