APCW 2021 is accelerating collaboration and integrating climate action into global pandemic recovery. Building back opens an opportunity to address social inequalities and invest in economic development that is good for humanity and nature.
The APCW 2021 Virtual Thematic Sessions take the pulse of climate action in the region, explore climate challenges and opportunities, and showcase ambitious solutions. These sessions focus on priorities identified earlier in the year at the Virtual Regional Roundtables and the outcomes will be carried forward to the Ministerial Sessions later this year. This is an opportunity for regional stakeholders to have their voice heard and contribute to COP 26.
The APCW Virtual Thematic Sessions are scheduled from 6 to 9 July and will be hosted by the Government of Japan.
The global organizing partners – UNEP, UNFCCC, UNDP, World Bank – are collaborating widely to deliver Thematic Sessions, facilitate Side Events and highlight videos in the Action Hub. Each APCW 2021 track focuses on one theme and runs for four hours each day of the event. The three tracks of Asia-Pacific Climate Week are:
- National actions and economy-wide approaches – led by the World Bank
- Integrated approaches for climate-resilient development – led by UNDP
- Seizing transformation opportunities – led by UNEP
