The Asia Pacific Climate Week (APCW) high level segment started its work in the United Nations Conference Centre Bangkok, Thailand on 4th September 2019, aimed at raising global ambition and intended to grasp many opportunities of climate action and to stave off the worst impacts of climate change, which are becoming increasingly costly for the region. The high-level segment was preceded by today's technical meetings discussing different issues related to climate change.
Content from the week will contribute to the summit convened by UN Secretary-General António Guterres in New York later this month and COP 25 in Santiago, Chile in December.
The discussions in Bangkok are focusing on five of the summit’s nine action tracks: Finance, energy industry, infrastructure, cities and Local Actions , resilience and adaptation, and nature-based solutions.
