• 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 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 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,…
• 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…
