The United Nations system delivering as one on implementation to address climate change

As a unique international mechanism with universal membership that combines convening power, normative work, standard-setting policy development and operational activities, the United Nations system in its entirety has embarked on an action-oriented and coordinated effort to support the international community in addressing the challenge of climate change.

United Nations system organizations have cooperated closely to establish a clear framework for action with targeted priority areas to achieve results on climate change action. Each agency contributes to this joint effort on the basis of its respective area of expertise, intergovernmental mandate and available resources. The overall objective is to maximize existing synergies, eliminate duplication and overlap, and optimize the impact of the collective efforts of the United Nations system in supporting countries implementing action to address climate change.

This breadth and unity of United Nations system activities is reflected in 19 Side Events at COP 16/CMP 6. The Side Events brings together a number of agencies under a thematic focus, all demonstrating how the United Nations system stands ready to support implementation action at global, regional, national and local levels, given the urgent need to accelerate action on adaptation and mitigation, including through technology transfer, finance and capacity-building.

Overall Side Event schedule1

As part of the efforts to enhance the functions of Side Events and Exhibits, Side Events have been color-coded by the theme based on the association by the organizers. “Others” therefore include those who did not associate themselves with any of the themes.

Tagging the Side Events by the theme is also one of the proposals in the stakeholder engagement review that the secretariat internally undertook. We hope this helps you find the events of your interest more efficiently. If you have any feedback on this arrangement, please email us at: [email protected].
