The Global Climate Action Agenda can be advanced together with entities that are both parties and non-parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), COP29 high-level climate champion Nigar Arpadarai said at a session on Global Climate Action held on the sidelines of COP29, Report informs.
“If in one part of the world they understand the importance of fighting climate change, but in another part of the world we don't see this, then we cannot fully accomplish our mission. The ecosystem belongs to everyone. We must even incorporate these rules into international law so that everyone knows the rules of the game,” Arpadarai said.
She said that the main focus is on engaging the private sector in global climate action and climate financing: “Without the private sector, we won't move forward. If large corporations, as well as small and medium enterprises, don't believe in the green transition, we won't move forward. Everyone is needed. We need civil society. We need their monitoring systems. We need charitable organizations, we need academia, we need youth. This is the only way we can take a step forward in global action because the climate is changing," said Arpadarai.
