VCA at COP28
This year, the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will meet for the 28th time. The COP comes together annually to review the implementation of the UNFCCC, which has the ultimate goal of limiting human impact on our climate system.
The COP is an important opportunity to connect the VCA alliance and our local partners with platforms, donors, NGOs, governments and other relevant actors that add value to VCA. Reaching out and connecting with these stakeholders allows us to expand our networks, achieve our objectives and raise local voices and the achievements of actions on the ground.
These are the events that VCA will be participating in during COP.
