- Climate Adaptation Leaders Urge More Ambition in Resilience Building
- Ovais Sarmad, UN Climate Change Deputy Executive Secretary Credit: UN Climate Change UN Climate Change News, 10 April 2019 - Experts and leaders meeting at the Korea Global Adaptation Week in Songdo, the Republic of Korea, have urged countries to increase their climate ambition and to scale up their efforts to build resilience to the unavoidable impacts of climate change. The meeting, attended by representatives of national and sub-national government authorities, academia, the Green Climate Fund (GCF), the UN and many other organizations, is taking place against the backdrop of the aftermath of Cyclone Idai, which has impacted millions of people in Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi. “We have a huge responsibility to take action as we see extreme weather events exacerbated by climate change,” UN Climate Change (UNFCCC) Deputy Executive Secretary Ovais Sarmad, stressed during the high level opening session of the Korea Global Adaptation Week. According to Ovais Sarmad, this event (to April 12) is a platform for “determining how countries can build their resilience and their ability to cope better in the future”, as well as an opportunity to address access to funding for effective adaptation to climate change. The UN official called on governments to swiftly increase their ambition, given that the most recent UN Environment Emissions Gaps Reports reveal that current national climate action plans (“Nationally Determined Contributions, or “NDCs”) will not be enough to hold global warming below 2 degrees Celsius. The UNFCCC Deputy Executive Secretary specifically mentioned the need to update the current NDCs in line with the science and the Paris Agreement before the starting implementation date in 2020.

Ovais Sarmad highlighted the fact that there is now consensus on the implementation of the Paris Agreement, with the Paris Agreement rulebook approved last year in Katowice. “The world has embarked on a major chapter in addressing climate change to raise ambition and to take concrete actions…we now have the tools, the global agreements and more importantly also public awareness especially by the younger generation”, he said. Speaking at the opening session, Ban Ki-moon, former Secretary-General of the United Nations and Co-chair of the Global Commission on Adaptation, said he was sorry to have to repeat the same message “over and over again that we need urgent climate action” after seeing that greenhouse gas emissions increased over the last three years. He called the last IPCC special report a “global warning on global warming” as it confirms that “climate change is running faster than we might have thought” and “it is not an issue of tomorrow”. “We must act, and we must act now” with “far more ambitious targets”, he warned. “If we continue like this, the city of Incheon will be flooded.” The former UN Secretary-General also called for an increase of budgets allocated to adaptation and to build more resilience through National Adaptation Plans (NAPs). The high-level opening session involved leading figures in climate change adaptation including Myung-Rae, Minister of Environment of the Republic of Korea; Park Namchoon, Mayor of Incheon; Je Yong Yoon, President of KEI; Hana Hamadalla Mohamed, Chair of the LEG; Yannick Glemarec, Executive Director of the Green Climate Fund; Judith Karl, Executive Secretary of the UN Capital Development Fund; and Jae Chun Choe, NAP Champion from Republic of Korea.

The Korea Global Adaptation Week in Songdo includes four key events, including the 6th edition of the NAP Expo, which is an annual outreach event organized by the Least Developed Countries Expert Group (LEG) under the UNFCCC, in collaboration with various bodies and organizations, to promote exchange of experiences and foster partnerships between a wide range of actors and stakeholders on how to advance National Adaptation Plans. 2019-04-11

Hosted by the Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Korea, the Korea Global Adaptation Week is organized by UN Climate Change, the Korea Environment Institute (KEI), the Korea Adaptation Centre for Climate Change (KACCC), and the Incheon Metropolitan City. Representatives from governments, civil society, private sector, academia and the UN System will gather in four key events, starting with the sixth NAP Expo, under the theme “Raising Adaptation Ambition by Advancing National Adaptation Plans”. The NAP Expo aims to promote the exchange of experiences and foster partnerships to advance National Adaptation Plans (NAPs). The Expo is organized by the Least Developed Countries Expert Group (LEG) under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in collaboration with partners. For the first time, Resilience Frontiers – an initiative undertaken by multiple agencies – will gather one hundred thought leaders for five days of foresight and collective thinking on how to maximize long-term resilience to climate change by harnessing the potential of emerging technologies and new sustainability trends, while mitigating associated risks. In parallel, the Adaptation Forum will discuss ways to increase private sector engagement in adaptation planning. The event is organized by the Adaptation Committee under the UNFCCC. The Regional Technical Expert Meeting on Adaptation will focus on how to enhance participation of the private sector in financing adaptation to climate change. The meeting’s theme will be “Adaptation finance, including the private sector." It is organized by the Green Climate Fund as part of the technical examination process on adaptation under the UNFCCC. The Korea Global Adaptation Week will be kicked off by a high-level opening with the participation of Ban Ki-moon, 8th Secretary-General of the United Nations, Co-chair of the Global Commission on Adaptation and President and Chair of the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI); Myung-Rae, Minister of Environment of the Republic of Korea; Park Namchoon, Mayor of Incheon; Je Yong Yoon, President of KEI; Ovais Sarmad, UN Climate Change Deputy Executive Secretary; Hana Hamadalla Mohamed, Chair of the LEG; Yannick Glemarec, Executive Director of the Green Climate Fund; Judith Karl, Executive Secretary of the UN Capital Development Fund; and Jae Chun Choe, NAP Champion from Republic of Korea.

The main aim of the Paris Agreement is to keep a global average temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius and to drive efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The UNFCCC is also the parent treaty of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. The ultimate objective of all agreements under the UNFCCC is to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that will prevent dangerous human interference with the climate system, in a time frame which allows ecosystems to adapt naturally and enables sustainable development.

- New CTCN/UNIDO Call for Proposals: Assessment of the status of the circular economy in Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Uruguay
- The Climate Technology Centre is seeking proposals for implementation of technical assistance in Chile, Brazil, Mexico and Uruguay: Assessment of the current status of the circular economy for developing a roadmap for each requesting country Deadline is the 8th of May, 17:00 Vienna time. Circular economy is an economical and industrial model, regenerative by design, which aims at recovering and re-using the materials that have already been processed, thus protecting natural resources from over exploitation. This is an issue that is particularly sensitive in Latin America. The objective is to keep scarce, valuable resources in circulation for longer periods of time, promoting recycling and avoiding loss of materials. Achieving these objectives requires the inclusion of processes such as reuse, re-design, reutilisation, recycling, remanufacturing and disruptive business models like product-as-service and extended life-cycle. To mitigate this challenge the Governments of Chile, Brazil, Mexico and Uruguay approached the CTCN for a technical assistance. The analysis leading to the final roadmap shall identify key players, stakeholders, private/public initiatives, geographical areas as well as opportunities and barriers. The approach has to incorporate and focus on the climate benefits originating from a circular economy model and identify the advantages that circularity would produce towards the implementation of the National Determined Contributions (NDCs)1 and the achievement of the goals of the Paris Agreement. The work is organized in the following main outputs: • Development of implementation planning and communication documents • Diagnosis of the key stakeholders and current initiatives related to circular economy in each country • Identification of the circular economy value and definition of benefits, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges in each country • Review of international experiences • Mapping of successful cases of application of industry 4.0 which benefit circular economy at international level and adoption of practices at local level taking into account technological development in these countries • Identification of potential projects in circular economy for each participating country prioritizing specific geographical areas. The completed offer must be submitted via the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) e-Procurement portal https://procurement.unido.org. Please refer to documents below for complete terms of reference and bidding information. Please note: In the event that your institution is not yet a CTCN network member, you may bid for implementation of the technical assistance, subject to the condition that you submit your completed application for CTC Network membership before the bid closure and your application is acknowledged by the CTCN. Furthermore, the contract award – should your bid be selected – is conditional to your network membership application having been successfully approved by the Director of CTCN. Should the bidder decide to partner with another institution to deliver the services described in these Terms of Reference, it is expected that the partner institution also joins the CTC Network.
