- 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 Climate Technology for Agriculture - Upscaling Implementation of Climate Technology in the Agricultural Sector Climate technologies are only moderately implemented in many countries. As the impacts of climate change become increasingly visible across the globe, enhancing cooperative action, which is the focus of this event, on technology development and transfer becomes even more important. This event focuses on how to replicate good practice and upscale implementation of climate technologies in the agricultural sector in a global south context. Speakers: Keynote: Jeppe Bruus, Minister, Ministry of…
- 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…
