This event responds to the Glasgow work programme on ACE (GWP) adopted at COP26, which promotes policy coherence and international cooperation by inviting the Presidencies, with the support of the secretariat, to convene an in-session event to be held at each session of the COP and CMA, focused on a thematic area relevant to the Convention and the Paris Agreement.
This year, the ACE Presidency Event will focus on “Advancing Climate Transparency: Opportunities through Action for Climate Empowerment.”
