- Event 28 November 2023 Progress in establishing the national transparency systems in Central Asia: challenges and opportunities Over the recent years, the support on transparency has increased for the countries of Central Asia. Capacity building initiatives from GEF via FAO national CBIT projects, ICAT/CAREC ReCATH regional project and global CBIT-GSP initiative for transparency support countries in developing their capacities to build and manage a robust, transparent framework that allow them to effectively implement the Paris Agreement and facilitates the transition of countries to the new reporting requirements under…
- Event 28 November 2023 Enabling the shift towards a new finance paradigm: Scaling up adaptation investments for smallholders using novel insurance models International adaptation finance flows to developing countries are 5-10 times below estimated needs and the gap is widening. Without an increase in support, adaptation actions could be outstripped by accelerating climate risks, which would further widen the adaptation implementation gap. Meeting those needs will require a rapid increase in the scale of financing that should go hand in hand with a diversification of the finance sources. Climate finance particularly neglects smallholder farmers…

- Publication 24 November 2023 The Climate Technology Progress Report 2023 The development, transfer, diffusion, and uptake of technologies to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change are essential to the response to the rapidly escalating problem of climate change. However, while the role of technologies is increasingly recognized, the degree to which technologies are deployed and barriers and enabling conditions for the development, transfer, diffusion, and uptake of those technologies are not well understood or documented. But how do we assess progress…
