Description

This session will take place live from COP28 in Dubai at 18:00 - 19:00 GMT+4 at the Japan Pavilion and will be livestreamed here on the OECD COP28 Virtual Pavilion. Recognising the climate urgency, the role of cities and regions and the importance of a place-based climate action in meeting the Paris Agreement goals, this session aims to discuss among national and local policymakers and experts the importance and effectiveness of a 'territorial approach to climate action and resilience', a new comprehensive policy framework to accelerate the net-zero and resilient transition at all territorial scales. This session will also launch the OECD report “A Territorial Approach to Climate Action and Resilience” that synthesises three years of work under the OECD TACAR Programme, supported by the government of Japan.
