How do International Standards support climate policy? 🌱📊 Standards align climate policies worldwide, making it easier to cooperate and take action on urgent challenges. They provide solid frameworks for policies on mitigation, adaptation, and financing. ✅ Plus, standards help measure and verify progress, boosting accountability across regions. Let’s talk about how #ClimateStandards are shaping a sustainable future. Join the conversation with @isostandards at #COP29. Learn more: iso.org/cop29 #ClimateAction #StandardsPavilion.

📢 New Brief for COP29 - Transboundary climate risks and adaptation in mountain areas: a brief for Parties and Observers to the UNFCCC As #COP29 approaches, this new brief outlines key engagement opportunities for #UNFCCC Parties and Observers to integrate transboundary climate impacts and mountain adaptation across critical negotiation tracks: - Global Stocktake 🌡️ - Global Goal on Adaptation 🌍 - Finance 💰 - Planning and Reporting 📊 - Loss and Damage 📉 Transboundary climate risks in mountain areas affect regions beyond borders and are a growing priority in climate negotiations. This brief explains these risks, their importance, and offers actionable recommendations for COP29. With many groups working toward common positions on these risks, now is the time for negotiators to ensure mountain resilience is part of the climate agenda. 🔗 Read the full brief and prepare for COP29: https://lnkd.in/d6ibcDYc #MountainsMatter #ClimateAdaptation #OurChangingMountains SEI — Stockholm Environment Institute, Zoï Environment Network, ICIMOD, Adaptation Without Borders

“Climate impacts are local, but solutions must be global. Our legacy will be measured not in documents, but in communities protected and resilience built," says our Juan Pablo Hoffmaister. In the 30 years since the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was established, the reality of climate change is undeniable—and so is the need for action worldwide. To recognize the framework’s founding anniversary, the Adaptation Committee (AC) launched a publication that takes stock of the progress made on adaptation. Plus, the AC highlights progress by Parties to the Convention and Paris Agreement and will serve as a key resource for international adaptation updates over time. We’re proud to have our Juan Pablo Hoffmaister join the UNFCCC panel at #COP29 to advance the conversation on adaptation solutions.
