UN Climate Change Regional Collaboration Centre (RCC) leadership, steering committees of the secretariat and institutions that host the RCCs, and other regional partners met recently at the RCC Global Forum 2020 to exchange views, share progress on ongoing activities and identify emerging priorities and issues related to climate action for continued regional support.
Given the impacts of the global pandemic, the RCC Global Forum 2020 was held virtually and was hosted by the UNFCCC-WGEO Regional Collaboration Centre for Middle East, North Africa and South Asia (RCC Dubai). In an acknowledgement of the important work the RCCs are doing to facilitate climate action regionally, the Forum was very well attended with the participation of 75 individuals from a very diverse community of stakeholders, representing 30 entities that included the RCC host partners, UN agencies, international institutions, regional bodies and government representatives. The full list of participants is available below.
In their presentations, the six RCCs shared a staggering number of achievements enabled through virtual workshops, engagements, collaborations, meetings and activities in 2020. The achievements highlight activities related to addressing alignment of climate mitigation and adaptation plans with national sustainable development plans, support to Article 6, adaptation, capacity building on transparency and facilitating the mobilization of climate-aligned finance.
