Regional Climate Weeks

Due to resource constraints, UN Climate Change is unable to deliver the regional climate weeks in 2024 and has put them on pause until further notice.

The Regional Climate Weeks (RCWs) inspire individuals and organizations to become part of the momentum created by the global climate agreement in Paris. It is a unique collaborative platform where both governments and non-governmental organizations stakeholders gather to address the gamut of relevant climate issues under one umbrella.

Bringing together diverse stakeholders in the public and private sectors around a common goal of addressing climate change, is the main goal of the RCWs.

The RCWs include series of events that provide space for a grassroots exchange of knowledge and best practices across the region on: Implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and Global Climate Action (GCA).

RCWs are held every year in one or more of the following regions: Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East and Northern Africa. 

Regional Climate Weeks details on how to register, conference agendas and different ways to engage are shared to different regions through our Regional Collaboration Centre Newsletters. To receive updates, please subscribe to your regional newsletter:
