Context
The technical examination processes on adaptation (TEP-A) and mitigation (TEP-M) come to an end in 2020. For several years, these processes have gathered Parties, technical experts, and other stakeholders to examine various themes in the areas of adaptation and mitigation. For the first time in 2020, these processes were conducted entirely in a virtual setting, using new modalities and strategies to engage participants around the world in timely discussions on Education and training, public participation and youth to enhance adaptation action and Human settlements: sustainable low-emission housing and building solutions. Technologies and design for buildings, housing and construction.
Objective
This event, taking place during the UNFCCC Climate Change Dialogues, will provide a space for those involved in these processes to reflect on the key insights and achievements that have emerged, and look ahead at what can be done to build on these insights and achievements going forward. Additionally, during this event, the winners of the TEP-A Youth Policy Case Competition and the Adaptation Visual Art Competition will be announced.
