OGP Local Circle on Digital Governance and AI
The OGP Local Circle on Climate Action is a working group uniting reformers from government, civil society, and organizations committed to advancing digital governance through open government principles.
The Open Gov Guide
The Open Gov Guide is the go-to resource for open government reformers. The guide provides concrete recommendations for policy makers, civil society representatives, and more on how to apply open government principles to real-world challenges. Readers can also use the guide to learn more about how governments at the national and local level are putting these values into practice through OGP action plans and beyond.
Learn more about this policy area in the “Energy Transition” chapter of the Open Gov Guide.
Challenge Commitments
As part of the Open Gov Challenge, the OGP Support Unit would like to recognize some of the most inspiring commitments made by participants to date. Read more about these exciting reforms on climate and environment below.

NAVARRA, SPAIN
Local Plans for Climate and Sustainable Energy Strategies
As a participant in the global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy, the province of Navarra (Spain) has coordinated the creation of municipal-level plans to better mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change as well as address energy poverty. The province is publicly monitoring municipalities’ progress in implementing these plans and aims to continue this work after the project period ends.
QUINTANA ROO, MEXICO
Co-Create an Environmental Governance Plan
Quintana Roo does not currently have territorial or ecological planning programs, which make it more difficult to implement a plan for sustainable development in the state. To fill this gap, the government will co-create an environmental governance plan with citizens as part of its long-term sustainable development strategy.
TANGIER – TÉTOUAN – AL-HOCEIMA, MOROCCO
Regional Climate Strategy for Water, Food Security, and Energy
The Tangier, Tétouan, and al Hoceima region of Morocco is experiencing water scarcity and the need to switch to renewable energy sources, both of which impact food security. To address this, the regional government committed to creating a consultative body with civil society to monitor the implementation of a regional climate strategy. It will also organize training sessions for local farmers on sustainable agricultural practices.
All Commitments by OGP Members
Explore all climate and environment commitments from OGP members.
The following list reflects commitments submitted through national or local action plans. For more details, visit OGP’s Data Dashboard.
Filter the commitments according to three categories evaluated by the Independent Reporting Mechanism (IRM): ambition, completion, and early results.
- Ambition: Beginning with 2020 action plans, the IRM assesses ambition using an indicator called “Potential for Results.” This indicator is an early marker of a commitment’s potential to yield meaningful results, based on how the commitment is articulated in the action plan and the state of play in the respective policy area.
- Completion: For each commitment, OGP’s Independent Reporting Mechanism (IRM) evaluates the degree to which the activities outlined in the commitment were implemented.
- Early Results: Beginning with 2021 action plans, the IRM assesses commitment results using an indicator called “Early Results”. This indicator compares the state of transparency, citizen participation, and/or public accountability before the action plan with the state at the end of the action plan.

What is this showing?
This table shows all commitments that match the filters selected at the top of the page. At least one filter must be selected to populate this table. Use the tags above the table to further filter by commitment quality (e.g. ambitious, complete). Click on commitment titles to learn more about each commitment. Click on “Featured” icons to access stories, where available.
Why is this data helpful? (why did we choose it?)
This table enables finding existing commitments in specific policy areas, regions, and years, as well as top-performing commitments by using the built-in table filters.
How is this calculated?
The commitment performance metrics (e.g. ambitious, complete) are derived directly from IRM reports. See the terms below for details. The Year field shows the year in which the commitment was first submitted. Icons in the Featured field indicate that a story is available on the OGP website.

Leveling the Playing Field: Ending Undue Influence for a Just, Inclusive, and Transparent Energy Transition
With support from the KR Foundation, OGP is examining opportunities for the multi-stakeholder platform to level the playing field of influence towards a just, inclusive, and transparent energy transition.
This program addresses two key issues. Opaque political influences, such as processes that go undeclared, are unregulated, or hide under layers of complexity, lead to unequal decision-making favoring the fossil fuel industry. Unequal access to policy-making for climate advocates compounds this issue, and their exclusion removes the potential for a voice to balance the influence of the fossil fuel industry.
OGP is working to build connections between reformers inside and outside of government in select countries that are concerned about undue influence in the energy transition. Through networking and actionable information resources, OGP’s objective is to motivate reformers to use the domestic process of dialogue and co-creation for the formulation of policies for a just, inclusive and transparent energy transition.
Read more about the effects of industry influence and incentives on the green transition and how to combat political capture by the fossil fuel industry in the OGP Horizons blog series.
For more information, you can contact Adna Karamehic-Oates, Lead, Policy & Partnerships ([email protected]) and Dieter Zinnbauer, OGP’s Consultant for this project ([email protected].)
