Where: 6th Capacity Building Hub, Blue Zone (Room 4), COP29, Azerbaijan.

This is an official side event of COP29.

The UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action, and the UN Development Programme (UNDP) are jointly organizing a session for Ministries of Environment and Ministries of Finance. This event will focus on practical strategies to strengthen collaboration between these ministries, aiming to accelerate the implementation of National Adaptation Plans (NAPs).

The Coalition brings together finance and economic policymakers from over 90 countries to promote sustainable economic growth by integrating climate considerations into financial and economic decision-making. By sharing best practices, collaborating on policy, and aligning national financial policies with the Paris Agreement, the Coalition enhances the role of finance ministries in climate action.

Event Objectives:

This session aims to increase the understanding of Finance and Environment Ministries on:

• Engaging collaboratively to finance and implement NAPs;
• Linking NAPs and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to ensure cohesive climate action;
• Fostering ongoing collaboration for a more coordinated approach to climate adaptation efforts.
