The Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action supports the implementation of the Paris Agreement. It mobilizes climate action by Parties (governments) and non-Party stakeholders including cities, businesses, investors, and civil society. Therefore, it is indeed a collaboration that involves governments (making it partly intergovernmental) but is not limited to them (as stated in point 2). The climate action goals under the Paris Agreement are aligned with and contribute to the broader 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, particularly SDG 13 on climate action, so the partnership is guided by this agenda.
