On 25 May 2023 (14:30-16:00 CEST), the World Resources Institute is hosting COP28 and Beyond: How to meet the needs of climate-vulnerable countries online.
At COP28, the UN will conclude its first ever Global Stocktake – a two-year process to show how far the world has come in the fight against climate change. Global climate efforts are currently far off course, and no one is at more risk than the vulnerable communities in the Global South, which is facing a mounting debt crisis and have few resources to respond to escalating climate impacts.
This webinar will will set clear expectations for a positive outcome at COP28 that meets the needs of climate-vulnerable countries. During the event, experts will show where action is possible, from the $100 billion finance commitment and the global goal on adaptation to loss and damage funding arrangements, the new global goal on finance, equitably phasing out fossil fuels and more.
The event will be hosted in English with simultaneous interpretation in Spanish and French.
