National ACE Focal Points

The Glasgow work programme on ACE invites Parties to designate, assign responsibilities to, and provide support, including technical and financial support, and access to information and materials to national Action for Climate Empowerment focal points (18/CP.26 para. 8, and 22/CMA.3, para. 8), which could include:
- The identification of areas for possible international cooperation and opportunities for strengthening synergies with other conventions; and
- The coordination of the preparation of the ACE chapter in the national communications, ensuring that relevant contact information, including web site addresses, is provided therein.

By Decision 17/CMA.1, Parties decided that the focal points nominated under Article 6 of the Convention will also serve as focal points under Article 12 of the Paris Agreement and will be referred to as Action for Climate Empowerment focal points in the context of the Paris Agreement.

The respective UNFCCC National Focal Point is requested to send a signed letter to the secretariat: secretariat@unfccc.int with copy to: ace@unfccc.int indicating:
- Name
- Title
- Institution
- Contact details (telephone, e-mail and web address) of the nominee.

Once the communication is received, the newly nominated national ACE focal points will be added to the list below.
