The Climate Ambition Support Alliance (CASA) programme will work to provide training, technical, legal and logistical support for developing country negotiators, in order to build the capacity of the least developed and most climate vulnerable states to participate in the international negotiations process and be more effective in influencing its outcomes.

- the UNFCCC process and strategic participation in it
- technical matters including climate mitigation, markets, compliance, transparency
- specialist legal and climate finance matters.
- the domestic implementation of climate commitments.
- Negotiating group governance and coordination.
- Financial support to cover logistical cost of negotiators participating in key international meetings.
