  1.  work towards a formal UNFCCC work program on multilevel and urbanization
  2. better alignment of adaptation indicators with local needs
  3. recognition of subnational roles in just transitions
  4. localized access to climate finance
  5. connect multilevel climate governance to the UN80 reforms.

These measures aim to move from negotiation to action, aligning with the spirit of the Global Mutirão.
