On 17 October 2022 (9:00 until 17:30 CET), the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), in collaboration with the Egyptian Presidency of COP27 and the UN Climate Change High-Level Champions for COP26 and COP27, will organize the regional forum Towards COP27: Regional Forums on Climate Initiatives to Finance Climate Action and the SDGs.
This hybrid event brings together key stakeholders from the public and private sectors to catalyse additional private sector investment in climate mitigation and adaptation in line with the Sustainable Development Goals.
The main objectives of the event are to create momentum and advance partnerships that will help an agreement on enhanced regional collaboration develop a robust, sustainability-focused information framework, investment roadmap and business case for the assurance of critical raw materials (CRMs), and will eventually help crowd in climate finance and other sources of finance to the field of sustainably managing CRMs.
