- 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 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 Carbon market standards: Engaging countries through capacity building Trading emissions through international carbon markets has the potential to facilitate more ambitious climate action through cost-savings and effective channelling of financial resources. However, countries are lacking the technical capacities to easily assess how to use cooperation under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. This event launches a new partnership between Peru, Sri Lanka and Tanzania and the Integrated Assessment for Article 6 (IAA6) project to co-develop and apply…
- 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 What we need from the Global Stocktake – Insights from the latest UNEP Emissions Gap Report and UNFCCC NDC Synthesis Report This joint UNFCCC and UNEP event features high-level opening remarks from UNEPs Executive Director and UNFCCCs Executive Secretary and a presentation of the key findings of the UNEP Emissions Gap Report 2023. This is followed by a panel discussion on what we need from the Global Stocktake, and how we can we speed up climate action and implementation this decade. The event draws on two recent UNEP and UNFCCC reports that both aim to inform the concluding discussions of the first global stocktake…
- 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…
- Event 28 November 2023 New Sustainable Development Tool for the Article 6.4 Mechanism This event will present the draft Sustainable Development tool for assessing sustainable development impacts of mitigation actions. The draft of the tool was developed based on a decision by the Article 6.4 Supervisory Body prior to COP28. The vent invites stakeholder views on: Robustness and reliability of the safeguards, Minimum requirements to promote positive SDG impacts, The usefulness of the tool for host and acquiring parties, and Needs for capacity building. …
