• 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…

• News 7 November 2023 New UN report identifies how non-state actors can strengthen climate action transparency To meaningfully address the mounting impacts of the climate crisis, humanity must bolster transparency and accountability at all levels, including in pledges from non-state actors (NSAs), according to a new UNEP report. As the world contends with increasing extreme climate events, such as droughts, floods and wildfires, NSAs can play a critical role in strengthening climate action, experts say. However, their role in national climate efforts remains largely undocumented, according to the UNEP…
• Event 7 November 2023 WEBINAR: How can Non-State Actors strengthen Climate Action Transparency? The climate crisis is threatening our health, food and water security, nature, safety, and socio-economic development. And as the UNEP Emissions Gap Report shows, even though the curve of global emissions is bending, it is not happening quickly enough. To solve the climate crisis, we need all actors on board, including non-state actors. Industry, financial institutions, cities, and regions all have the potential to significantly impact climate action. But how? This webinar builds on the…
