Introduction

The Chair of the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) has invited collaboration under the Nairobi work programme (NWP) to address the knowledge needs arising from the Cancun Adaptation Framework, the Paris Agreement, and other relevant workstreams and bodies under the UNFCCC and the knowledge needs identified by Parties.

The NWP will support the vision of the Consultative Group of Experts (CGE), which seeks to assist developing country Parties improve their capacities to implement the existing measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) arrangements under the UNFCCC and the enhanced transparency framework under Article 13 of the Paris Agreement in a timely and sustainable manner.

 

Co-producing knowledge outputs and sharing information on relevant work and engagement opportunities with a global network of partners

As a knowledge hub, the NWP employs a variety of communication channels and platforms to collect relevant information and disseminate it in a usable format to Parties, partner organizations and other relevant organizations.

  • Adaptation Knowledge Portal for sharing and exchanging knowledge about climate change adaptation actions.
  • NWP quarterly eUpdate newsletter disseminated to Parties and NWP partner organizations.
  • NWP and Adaptation division social media accounts.
  • The annual NWP Focal Point Forum convened on the margins of COP.
  • Online database of partner organizations.
Promoting collaboration with constituted bodies on scaling up adaptation action

In 2019, at its 2nd meeting, the CGE took note of the information on the work and mandate of the NWP. The CGE noted that the NWP provides a platform for the CGE to share its technical knowledge and information with a wider audience, and agreed to consider collaboration with the NWP.

In 2020, the NWP reached out to the constituted bodies to discuss possible areas for collaboration and examine where the NWP could add most value to the workplans in line with their respective mandates. Formal letters were sent on behalf of the SBSTA Chair highlighting the work and mandates of the NWP and possible areas for collaboration. A positive response was sent by the CGE co-chairs to take this collaboration forward.
