In a few days, thousands of government delegates and leaders from all sectors of society will gather in Bonn, Germany, for the 2017 UN Climate Change Conference (COP23, 6-17 November).
Under the Presidency of Fiji, the UN Climate Change secretariat with the support of Germany will host this annual meeting with one clear objective: making progress on the successful, inclusive and ambitious implementation of the Paris Climate Change Agreement.
The role of the Non-Party Stakeholders will be fundamental for nations to fulfill their climate objectives. COP23 will therefore showcase a wide array of leading examples of game-changing climate actions from the private sector, cities and other sub-national governments across the world. More commitments and urgent action are needed, so how to scale up and replicate these examples will be a key focus.
On Monday 30 October, a week before the conference, a new edition of the SD Talks Special Series on Climate Change will help shed a light on the great momentum for more ambition and cooperation from all parts of society and call for new announcements of climate action initiatives. The panel of a live video discussion will be James Grabert, Director, Sustainable Development Mechanism at UN Climate Change and Yunus Arikan, Head of Global Policy and Advocacy, ICEI Local Governments for Sustainability.
