about
Climate-Week-September-2025

The Climate Weeks scheduled for 2025 are strategically aligned with the intergovernmental processes under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement. They play a key role in translating global climate decisions into concrete actions on the ground.

The first Climate Week of 2025 took place in Panama City from 19 to 23 May 2025, at the Megapolis Convention Centre. The event brought together representatives from Parties and a wide range of stakeholders, maintaining a truly global scope. It served as a platform for inclusive dialogue, capacity-building, and the exchange of innovative solutions to accelerate urgent and coordinated climate action.

The UNFCCC and its global partners invite national governments to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to host the Climate Week for their regions (Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Middle East and North Africa) in 2024. This is a unique opportunity to bring governments, the private sector, and other non-Party stakeholders together to advance cooperation and collaboration to address the climate change crisis. Applications will be accepted through 6 October 2023. 

To submit an Expression of Interest, please send a signed EOI to the UNFCCC secretariat at Climate-Week@unfccc.int and attach the Elaboration on Criteria form by 6 October 2023. 

 

How to apply for hosting a Regional Climate Week in 2024 

The Regional Climate Weeks provide a platform for engagement by national and subnational governments, regions, cities, Indigenous Peoples communities, the private sector and civil society. Each week is an opportunity to shape the implementation and delivery of national climate action plans under the Paris Agreement on the way to COP29 in 2024.  

The agenda, information for participants, online registration, on-site organization, communications including video production and photography, as well as the outcome reports and presentation of outputs at the following COP are led by UNFCCC with the support of global and regional partners.
