Date: 19 November 2024

Time: 12:00 - 13:00 AZT

Location: UN Azerbaijan - Pavilion

This is an official event of the UN Azerbaijan-Pavilion of the UNFCCC COP29.

Organizer: UNEP 

Description: This side-event features technical presentations on the key findings of the Adaptation Gap Report 2024, followed by a panel discussion.

Every year, UNEP’s Adaptation Gap Report provides an updated assessment of progress within three central elements of the global climate change adaptation process — planning, implementation, and finance. In addition, the 2024 edition of the Adaptation Gap Report takes a deep dive in capacity development and technology transfer, as finance is only one element of the ‘means of implementation’ of the Paris Agreement. Technology transfer and capacity building are just as important to achieve effective adaptation implementation, though often not taken into account adequately.
