- 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…
- Event 28 November 2023 Greening procurement of Energy Services One of the key obstacles to procuring improved energy efficiency is the contractual arrangements with Energy Service Companies (ESCOs), which are based on ‘Energy Performance Contracting’. In many jurisdictions, they are seen as a hybrid between a services contract and a goods contract. It is often challenging to adopt this duality, which ultimately ends up standing in the way of investment in improved energy efficiency. This event presents UNOPS as a possible mediator of this challenge by…
- Event 28 November 2023 Transparency for Enhancing Climate Actions – Perspectives from Africa, Asia, Europe, and LAC Under the Paris Agreement, countries are requested to update or establish the necessary arrangements to implement the Enhanced Transparency Framework and undertake major efforts to collect data, estimate and report information with modalities, procedures and guidelines. The event emphasizes the positive impact of exchanging experiences among countries on enhancing technical capacities and providing support for the MRV process. Speakers: Daniela Romano, Senior Advisor, Italian…
- Event 28 November 2023 Integrating displaced populations into national climate change policy and planning: pathways to enable investment in frontline and last mile communities This session will speak to the COP theme of frontline communities and finance, building on the joint policy brief published by UNEP and IOM in August 2023 on “Integrating displaced populations into national climate change policy and planning”. While global in scope, the session will discuss region-specific examples of the emerging political consensus on this topic. This includes efforts by Member States of the African Union to roll out the ambition of the Kampala Declaration on Migration,…
