On 26 May 2021 at 15:30 CEST, the World Resources Institute (WRI) is hosting a webinar on "Key Topics for Climate Negotiators Ahead of UNFCCC Talks".
International climate negotiators will soon gather for a virtual meeting from May 31 to June 17, 2021. While the talks will be virtual and informal, the three-week long session will be a key opportunity for negotiators to start to reach consensus on a range of issues that should be resolved by the COP26 UN climate summit this November.
Negotiation topics include but are not limited to:
- Finalizing rules related to setting common timeframes for national climate commitments; strengthening transparency of actions, finance, technology transfer and capacity-building; adopting robust carbon market rules and the first global stocktake of the Paris Agreement; and
- Making progress on the solidarity and resilience agenda, including adaptation, loss and damage and mobilization of climate finance ($100 billion and a new finance goal by 2025).
