• Event 28 November 2023 Accelerating NDC implementation and addressing global stocktake outcomes through TNAs Nationally determined contributions (NDCs) are at the heart of the Paris Agreement and the achievement of its long-term goals. However, numerous developing countries confront significant challenges in fulfilling their NDC targets, largely due to limited access to advanced climate technologies and financial resources. Technology Needs Assessments (TNAs) stands as a crucial process under the UNFCCC, assisting developing countries in identifying and prioritizing their technology needs for climate…
• Event 28 November 2023 Tackling the true cost of financing adaptation: Insights from the UNEP Adaptation Gap Report 2023 and what it means for the financial sector The 2023 UNEP Adaptation Gap report delves into the costs of adaptation for developing nations. This panel session will unveil and discuss updated financial data and analysis from the report, reflecting actual adaptation costs aligned with developing countries' Nationally Determined Contributions and National Adaptation Plans. The session will also explore how financial institutions can expand climate-resilient finance and embed assessments of physical climate risks across the sector. Finally,…
• Event 28 November 2023 How to increase adaptation effectiveness to reduce loss and damage: Insights from the UNEP Adaptation Gap Report 2023 UNEP’s annual Adaptation Gap Report is indicating the need for increased action to reduce vulnerability and build resilience. However, progress in adaptation is slowing. Hence, the planning, implementation, and finance gaps in adaptation keep widening and leading to more losses and damages. This UNFCCC mandated UNEP event features high-level opening remarks from UNEP’s Executive Director and UNFCCC’s Executive Secretary and a presentation of the key findings of the UNEP Adaptation Gap Report…
• 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…
