The Paris Climate Conference is officially known as the 21st Conference of the Parties (or “COP”) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the United Nations body which is responsible for climate and based in Bonn, Germany. The Conference will also serve as the 11 th Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol. The COP meets each year to take decisions that further the implementation of the Convention and to combat climate change. COP21 will take place at the same time as CMP11, the 11th meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol, which oversees the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol and the decisions made to increase its effectiveness. In total, 45,000 participants are expected to participate at the COP at the Paris-Le Bourget site at some point during the Conference. This includes delegates representing countries, observers, civil society and journalists. 20,000 people will be officially accredited and will have access to the Conference itself, while people not accredited to the Conference itself will still be able to take part in debates, see exhibitions and attend talks or screenings in the civil society area which will be built very close to the conference centre. There are no magical or instant solutions to climate change. The climate challenge is one of the most complex the world has ever faced. But climate change has now risen to the top of the global agenda and countries, cities, the private sector, civil society, faith leaders a...

The world is at a “tipping point” in the climate crisis that requires all countries to put aside their national interests to fight for the common good, the UN’s top climate official has warned. Simon Stiell, the executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, pointed to recent findings from scientists that “Climate change is accelerating, and we are lagging behind in our actions to stem it,” he warned. “Remember the best available science, which doesn’t arbitrate on who needs to do what or who is responsible for what. The science tells us where we are and highlights the scale of response which is required.” Stiell was addressing representatives from nearly 200 countries gathered in Bonn, the UN’s climate headquarters, to discuss He urged countries to put aside their differences, after more than 30 years of negotiations since the “I believe we are at a tipping point,” he said. “We know that rapid change often follows a long gestation period. Goodness knows that the gestation period for climate action has been long enough. We need to bring that tipping point forward.” The The Guardian understands that the EU and many developing countries wanted an agenda item to discuss the “mitigation work programme”, which deals with countries’ commitments to cut greenhouse gas emissions, while China fought for a mandate to discuss countries’ plans for adapting to the impacts of the climate crisis. Other key sources of contention included a resolution to phase out fos...

Overview and objectives of training workshop The experts representing the countries of the Least Developed Countries in Asia expressed the need to undertake training in accessing and mobilizing climate finance to support their priority climate projects and programmes. In this context, the UNFCCC secretariat, in collaboration with UNESCAP, under the auspices of the Needs-Based Finance (NBF) Project, is organizing this training workshop with the objective of developing skills and knowledge for preparing and supervising the implementation of priority adaptation and mitigation needs of the Least Developed Countries in Asia. In particular, the workshop aims to build capacity and skills of the participants by providing them with information and tools that will assist them in translating the priority needs to project concepts to be able to access suitable climate finance. At the workshop, the regional climate finance strategy will also be endorsed by the focal points of the NBF Project. This workshop should be viewed as an initial step in understanding the whole project development process by going through each phase of the process through interactive exercises. At the of the workshop, the participants will produce draft concept notes that LDCs in Asia can collectively develop with the assistance of international organization. Skills learned in this workshop will enable participants to develop project proposals to mobilize finance from both public and private sources at the inter...

Following the acceptance by the COP ( A/AC.237/Misc.45), the Government of Germany, the United Nations and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change concluded a Headquarters Agreement, which entered into force in October 1997 ( Since then, the Subsidiary Body on Implementation (SBI) has regularly reviewed the implementation of the Headquarters Agreement. The Host Government and the Executive Secretary have each reported to the SBI at every session initially and at regular interval later. In addition, since the thirty-sixth session of the SBI (May 2012, Bonn, Germany), the secretariat has kept Parties informed on an on-going basis through the The topics considered under this sub-item traditionally include: the legal status and treatment of participants to UNFCCC meetings in Germany; the legal status and treatment of the secretariat, its staff, affiliates and associated family members; the office accommodation of the secretariat; and the provision of a conference centre for use by the United Nations. Recent developments In September 2013, about half of the secretariat's staff moved into its new office premises on the United Nations Campus in Bonn. The remaining staff, currently staying in the secretariat's old headquarters five kilometres away, is scheduled to move into a newly built Annex building on the United Nations Campus in 2018. In June 2015, during the forty-second sessions of the subsidiary bodies, the World Conference Centre Bonn was officially inau...

A summary of the key entry points within existing UNFCCC processes and negotiations where management actions concerning coastal and marine ecosystems can play a productive role in climate action. Report recommendations focus primarily on opportunities for advancing coastal Nature-based Solutions (NbS), including blue carbon. Steps and recommendations are identified for advancing ocean-based climate action under these four key areas of opportunity, as well as other relevant ongoing processes and negotiations under the UNFCCC (listed on page 4 of the report). Finance Within negotiations and processes related to climate finance, work to increase funding availability, increase access to financing, and mobilize new and additional finance flows for coastal and marine Nature-based Solutions. Global Stocktake Ensure the Global Stocktake (GST) fully reflects the critical role of nature, including coastal and marine NbS, in realizing the goals of the Paris Agreement. NDCs – mitigation and adaptation Call for increased technical support, knowledge exchange, and financing for the inclusion of coastal and marine NbS, such as blue carbon ecosystems, in updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Synergies across UN processes Support synergies for coastal and marine NbS across international policy processes.
