Agenda

Welcome and opening remarks
 

Chairs of the Subsidiary Bodies, Ms. Ana Toni (COP 30 Presidency), Mr. Elvin Guliyev (Climate Week Host Country)

Presentations:

• Climate information services and systematic observation to support improved climate-related data, information and services, and climate risk and impact assessment incorporating different warming scenarios, Mr. Peter Thorne, Global Climate Observing System (Presentation)
• Multi-hazard early warning systems: Progress of the EW4All initiative and the remaining implementation gaps, Dr. Muhibuddin Usamah, World Meteorological Organization
• How are countries conducting impact, vulnerability and risk assessments and to what extent are these assessments incorporating different global warming scenarios that reflect national and regional circumstances? (Presentation)
  Ms. Isabelle Richaud, France (Presentation)
  Mr. Tlou Ramaru, South Africa (Presentation)

Q&A with panellists and plenary discussions

Breakout Groups

• What challenges do countries face in accessing and using climate data, including systematic observations, for impact, vulnerability and risk assessments?
• How can adaptation actions respond to the needs and risks arising from different warming scenarios?
• How are countries using the outcomes of adaptation assessments to inform the formulation and implementation of NAPs, policy instruments and planning processes, and what are the gaps?

Panel discussion:

• Update on the status of adaptation planning and policies towards target 10(b) Mr. Mokoena France, Least Developed Countries Expert Group (Presentation)
• Best practices and examples of how NAPs and relevant policies are being effectively mainstreamed across governmental sectors, Ms. Åsa Sjöström, European Union (Presentation)
• Use of cross-cutting considerations in adaptation, including in planning, Ms. Pilar Bueno, Uruguay (Presentation)

Q&A with panellists and plenary discussion

Breakout Group 

• What are the remaining barriers to ensuring national adaptation planning effectively translates into sustained implementation, investment and resilience outcomes?
• What are best practices in strengthening cross-cutting considerations into adaptation plans and policies?

State of implementation:

• Presentation: Implementation of adaptation actions that have enhanced adaptive capacity, strengthened resilience and reduced vulnerability to climate change, Sarah Duff, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development
• Presentation: implementing adaptation programmes at scale, Rohini Kohli, UNDP (presentation)

Q&A with Pannelists

Plenary Discussion and experiences from Parties in implementing adaptation actions

Technological solutions for adaptation:

• Presentation: development, deployment and/or transfer of adaptation technologies in support of adaptation implementation, Ariesta Ningrum,  Director of the United Nations Climate Technology Centre & Network (CTCN)
• Presentation: Indigenous Peoples’ technologies and knowledge systems for adaptation, Birrin Hooper, Co-Chair of the Facilitative Working Group (FWG)

Q&A with Pannelists

Plenary Discussion and experiences from Parties in applying technological solutions for adaptation

Challenges and solutions for accessing means of implementation to achieve targets 10(a)–(d)

• Country experiences (plenary)

Plenary discussion with guiding questions:

• How to ensure access to means of implementation for adaptation, for adequate, predictable and accessible financial, technology transfer and capacity-building support, including from developed country Parties to developing country Parties, including in line with Article 9, paragraph 1, and Articles 10–11, of the Paris Agreement?
• What enabling factors can further accelerate the development, transfer, deployment and scaling of adaptation technologies?

Breakout groups

Country experiences on monitoring, evaluation and learning systems (MEL) for adaptation, including best practices and feedback loops

• Design and establishment of MEL systems for adaptation
• Leveraging MEL systems to inform adaptation planning, implementation, resource mobilization and iterative learning

Guiding questions

• What are the lessons learned and challenges faced when operationalizing your MEL system?
• How can MEL systems utilize the Belém Adaptation Indicators for targets 10(a)–(d) to provide an in-depth assessment of adaptation progress in the second global stocktake?
