Efforts to promote sustainable management and restoration of peatlands require an integrated approach, combining technical knowledge, strong stakeholder engagement, and capacity-building initiatives at various levels of governance and society.

Highlighting the importance of global forest cooperation through REDD+ under the Paris Agreement and sharing international efforts and case studies of REDD+ implementation.

Join us for the grand opening of the Forest Pavilion!

Join us for an interactive session as we piece together the forest finance puzzle, ensuring forests continue to play an essential role in climate mitigation, adaptation, biodiversity, livelihoods, and ecosystem services.

This session will share insights from experts & countries on impact of transparent data on policy development, and how local data contribute to increase the ambition of the NDCs. 

This session explores practices benefiting soil health, data driven agricultural transition and investment opportunities to facilitate climate mitigation and adaptation.

The event will focus on how to finance soil health and soil restoration, at multiple scales (from farm to national to international levels). By harnessing the potential of healthy soil as a critical ally and a lever in climate mitigation and adaptation, combating drought, and biodiversity conservation, we will strategize on clear entry points for financing and policy interventions to achieve climate, biodiversity, and land targets.

 DLDD (Desertification, Land Degradation and Drought) are closely interrelated with Climate Change. DLDD is the consequence of Climate Change. Globally, more than 110 countries are threatened by CC and DLDD.

This event will highlight examples of trade actions and cooperative efforts Coalition members are pursuing from the Coalition’s Menu of Voluntary Actions and support various aspects of the global climate agenda.

Explore with us the central role that forests play in climate mitigation and adaptation efforts, and the multiple benefits forests offer beyond climate action as carbon sinks, from biodiversity and water regulation to food security, social stability, and much more.

The event will focus on soil health as a key area for action across climate, desertification, and biodiversity agendas. It will underscore soil health’s critical role in climate change mitigation and adaptation, combating desertification, and supporting biodiversity and ecosystems.

This session at the Trade and Investment House Pavilion will explore pathways for greater international cooperation on trade and sustainable agriculture to support achieving the Paris Agreement’s climate goals, nature-positive agri-food supply chains, and sustainable development.

The high-level event will convene a diverse set of ministers, local and regional leaders, financial institutions, and non-government stakeholders to agree on a suite of multilevel, Paris-aligned actions for cooperation in the UNFCCC space, focused on joint policy and finance for sustainable climate technology uptake in agrifood systems.

This event brings together perspectives from research, development, government and the finance community to discuss multistakeholder action for addressing financing, implementation and knowledge barriers, and green fertilizer domestic production in Africa, including modeled costs, cost drivers, and developmental impacts.

Join us for an engaging conversation about action in the Global South with passionate experts and local leaders.

For many years it was in question if buildings could become a scalable sink for carbon. After search by the CDRterra project for CDR options it became evident that an intelligent combination of materials can serve the building sector and the agricultural/agroforestry sector with scalable CDR options.

This side-event will emphasize the vital roles of science, public and private finance in accelerating investments in Nature-based Solutions (NbS) as well as the unique aspects of RLL in this regard.

The event aims to inspire collaboration and action to support sustainable soil management practices, contributing to global efforts in climate adaptation and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In this solution-oriented event, we will discuss successful strategies, tools and best practices. We will showcase lessons learned and project outcomes to motivate broader action and highlight the urgently needed synergies for climate, biodiversity, and human well-being in coastal regions and beyond.

This event will highlight how including mangrove-positive targets in countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) can be an important catalyst to mobilize action and finance for mangrove conservation and restoration, and further enhance mitigation contributions.
