- Event 28 November 2023 Partnering to bridge the Science-Policy for Adaptation Effectiveness Effective climate adaptation requires sound scientific knowledge as a key input to adaptation policies, plans and action. Currently adaptation isn’t yet as effective as it should be due to the lack of knowledge that is innovative, co-created, based on results from action research, and validated in practice. This session will address these issues by clarifying why this is a priority, what is adaptation effectiveness and how knowledge can and should inform better adaptation for increased…
- Event 28 November 2023 Enhancing transparency for climate action Transparency forms the Paris Agreement's backbone, outlined by the Enhanced Transparency Framework for both developed and developing nations. Effective use of Article 6 cooperative approaches necessitates proper accounting, aligning with national transparency frameworks. This event will spotlight successful national practices in establishing such frameworks for mitigation and adaptation, contributing to sustainable development goals and elevating climate ambition globally. It offers a platform…
- Event 28 November 2023 Country Efforts in Transitioning towards ETF: Learning from the National and Global CBIT projects in Eurasia and the Caucasus The Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) is the backbone of the implementation of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and it is the internationally-agreed mechanism to monitor the progress of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). The Capacity Building Initiative for Transparency – Global Support Programme (CBIT-GSP), implemented by UNEP and executed by UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre, aims to strengthen national institutions for transparency-related activities in line with national…
- Event 28 November 2023 A Stocktake: From Climate Technology Needs to Implementation The world is at a critical turning point in the battle against the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution, a crisis that knows no boundaries and has cross-generational impacts. The number of extreme weather events over the last 30 years has been staggering, and 2023 has been no exception. Meeting national and international climate targets requires efficient and rapid scaling up of the implementation and use of climate technologies, which, in addition to…
- Event 28 November 2023 Capacity building for M&E in adaptation and loss and damage - lessons from Global South The session will discuss capacity-building needs and gaps from the countries’ view to increase the effectiveness of adaptation measures and addressing loss and damage. The session will have two short presentations, one by AF-TERG and one by UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre, followed by a panel discussion with project implementers and national representatives and a Q&A session. The workshop will enhance understanding of differences and linkages between adaptation and loss and damage concepts…
- Event 28 November 2023 Loss and damage: Addressing soft limits to adaptation to avert and minimize L&D Evidence continues to show that losses and damages associated with climate change are occurring across all regions around the globe, in all economic sectors and particularly in vulnerable communities. This event will build from the 2023 UNEP Adaptation Gap Report and ongoing work by the World Adaptation Science Programme’s (WASP) Working Group on Loss and Damage. It will address the soft limits to adaptation to avert and minimize losses and damages. Experts will provide an overview of the issue…
- Event 28 November 2023 Fostering South-South Learning: The collaboration between Cuba, Chile, and Panama under the CBIT-Global Support Programme The Capacity-building Initiative for Transparency - Global Support Programme (CBIT-GSP) is a global climate transparency project supporting developing countries in the transition to the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) of the Paris Agreement. The project is funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) through CBIT, implemented by UNEP, and executed by the UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre. The CBIT-GSP project includes various support modalities, notably its ten Transparency Networks…
- Event 28 November 2023 Upscaling implementation of climate compatible infrastructure in fragile states Climate change poses grave threats to countries across the world—but especially fragile and conflict-affected state and it is vital to that they come up with solutions to support these vulnerable countries. From Yemen to Somalia and Sudan, fragile states suffer more from floods, droughts, storms and other climate-related shocks than other countries, when they have contributed the least to climate change. Each year, three times more people are affected by natural disasters in fragile states than…
