Dear Hon. Member of Parliament,
We are pleased to invite you to the second event of our
Parliamentary Leadership for the 2030 Agenda
Webinar Series,
titled
Climate Leadership: Preparing for COP26.
The COVID-19 pandemic forced the
postponement of the 26
th
UN climate conference (COP26) and the 15
th
UN biodiversity conference
(COP15), which will both now take place this year. In this context, decisive action from governments and
legislators is urgently needed to address the increasing rate and impact of climate hazards all over the
world.
To that end, we will be holding a lively discussion centered on strategies that can be implemented by
parliamentarians to address the current climate crisis, including how to best use their policymaking,
budget allocation and government oversight roles to deliver results in climate action. Leading experts
will share their insights and proposals. Their presentations will be then followed by a dialogue with and
between members of parliament to determine the most suitable mitigation and adaptation approaches.
Please confirm your participation by
registering here.
Connection details will be sent to confirmed
participants a couple days in advance of the event. Kindly see the attached concept note and agenda for
further details.
We are looking forward to having you join us and take part in a unique conversation on how to step up
to the challenges posed by climate change.
With our warm regards and gratitude,
Gabriela Cuevas Barron, Co-Chair, UHC2030 Steering Committee
Jeffrey Sachs, President, Sustainable Development Solutions Network
Kirsten Brosbøl, Founder, Parliamentarians for the Global Goals
