NDR Regional Stakeholder Engagement Webinars

Preparations for the second NDR

To support preparations for the second NDR, the SCF held three informal regional webinars for country representatives, practitioners and experts for an informal exchange on the development of the second report on the Determination of the Needs of Developing Country Parties related to implementing the Convention and the Paris Agreement.

The informal regional webinar brought together country representatives, practitioners, and experts to share perspectives and information on regional- and country-level data availability and gaps in the identification and costing of needs of developing country Parties related to the implementation of the Convention and the Paris Agreement, as well as on the latest developments in methodological issues from national, regional and global reports.

The webinar was co-facilitated by SCF members Kevin Adams and Mohammad Ayoub. It was held at three different times to accommodate different regions and time zones.
