                                Africa Climate Week 2021: Get Involved!



                                The organizing partners of the  Africa 
Climate Week 2021 are accepting Expression of Interest submissions from 
stakeholders interested in joining the Virtual Thematic Sessions.


                                Organized in partnership by UN Climate 
Change, UNDP, UNEP and the World Bank, the Africa Climate Week Virtual 
Thematic Sessions are scheduled for 26-29 July and will be hosted by the 
Government of Uganda and open to the public.


                                Each of the Regional Climate Weeks provide a 
platform for engagement by national and subnational governments, regions, 
cities, indigenous communities, the private sector, and civil society. The 
Week is an opportunity to discuss implementing national climate action plans 
under the Paris Agreement and the regional collaboration that enables bold 
ambition on the way to COP 26 in Glasgow. This year, the Regional Climate 
Weeks focus on three themes:


                                a.. National actions and economy-wide 
approaches – Discussion on ambitious action in key sectors and how these 
actions can integrate in national planning and economic packages to enable 
COVID-19 recovery and support the Paris Agreement.
                                b.. Integrated approaches for climate 
resilient development – Collaboration to discuss the climate risks facing 
Africa, develop low-carbon solutions and seek partnerships for risk-based 
approaches to adaptation and resilience building.
                                c.. Seizing transformation opportunities – A 
platform to explore breakthrough solutions to deliver climate action at a 
scale that puts Africa on a low-emission and highly resilient development 
pathway, with focus on key sectors of the economy that need deep 
transformation.


                                Join us by sharing an engaging video in the 
Action Hub, hosting a Side Event or as a Supporting Organization for one of 
the thematic tracks. Submit your Expression of Interest before the 21 June 
deadline.





                                How Do You See the Future of the Race to 
Zero?



                                You can share your views on the future of 
the Race to Zero campaign with the High-Level Champions for Climate Action, 
by attending the opening session and launch of the Public Consultation on 
the Future of the Race to Zero on 23 June. You can register for the event 
here. This session will start a 10-week period for receiving written 
feedback to consultation questions, which will be published soon after the 
event.


                                The consultation will explore how to drive 
cooperation and coordination within the climate action ecosystem to leverage 
the capacity and expertise of cities, regions, businesses, investors and 
civil society and ensure that commitments are fulfilled in the 2020s and 
beyond. It builds on a recent process to clarify and strengthen the Race to 
Zero's campaign criteria.

                                Reminder: One Year Into the Race to Zero
                                Leaders Summit



                                A year after it launched, the Race to Zero 
now includes more than 2,300 companies, 700 cities, 160 investors and 24 
cities, and is running in parallel with its new sibling campaign, the Race 
to Resilience. Both are helping to drive a 50 percent reduction in global 
greenhouse gas emissions between 2020 and 2030 - while restoring nature and 
building resilience for the 4 billion people most at risk from the climate 
crisis now.


                                But the private sector and local governments 
also need to join UN Secretary-General António Guterres and the High-Level 
Champions in calling for ambitious climate action. The UN Global Compact 
Leaders Summit starting tomorrow - 15-16 June - will look at the 
transformational shifts already underway and what is needed to accelerate 
them. Breakout sessions will focus on cities, transport, bridging the gap 
between mitigation and adaptation and engaging the youth, among other 
issues.
                                Complimentary registration available here.
