Abu Dhabi, Uae (ots/PRNewswire) - The COP28 Presidency and the United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) have
officially signed the Host Country Agreement, strengthening their
joint commitment to inclusivity and transparency at COP28 that
fosters solidarity and transformative progress across the climate
agenda.
* A joint statement emphasized the importance of creating an
inclusive and transparent platform that fosters solidarity and
transformative progress across the climate agenda.
* The statement also reiterated the COP28 Presidency and UNFCCC's
shared vision to ensure that voices from all backgrounds are
heard
and acknowledged.
* COP28 President-Designate, Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, reiterated that
the COP28 plan of action is centered on four key pillars:
fast-tracking the energy transition; fixing climate finance;
focusing on people, lives and livelihoods; and underpinning
everything with full inclusivity.
* UNFCCC Executive Secretary, Simon Stiell, reaffirmed the
organization's dedication to upholding UN values as part of the
COP process.
* The statement highlighted a shared commitment to accommodate
diverse perspectives and contributions from youth, women, local
communities, Indigenous Peoples, and other marginalized groups
disproportionately affected by climate change.
The agreement was signed by COP28 President-Designate, Dr. Sultan Al
Jaber and UNFCCC Executive Secretary, Simon Stiell, during a meeting
in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
The Host Country Agreement puts in place the necessary legal basis
for this year's UN Climate Summit.
Following the signing of the agreement, a joint statement was issued
underscoring the importance of inclusivity, transparency, and
respect, as part of the COP process that enables unity and more
ambitious action.
Dr. Al Jaber emphasized that inclusion is a crucial cornerstone of
the COP28 Presidency, saying: "The COP28 plan of action is centered
on four key pillars: fast-tracking the energy transition; fixing
climate finance; focusing on people, lives and livelihoods; and
underpinning everything with full inclusivity. The COP28 Presidency
believes inclusivity is a critical enabler to achieving
transformative progress across the climate agenda. Only by rising
above our differences and working together can we raise our shared
ambition and deliver progress to keep 1.5C within reach."
Mr. Stiell reaffirmed the UNFCCC's dedication to upholding UN values
at COPs and ensuring the voices of those most impacted by climate
change are heard and represented in leadership roles, saying: "As
custodians of the process, the secretariat is dedicated to supporting
the Parties implement their climate commitments, including under the
Paris Agreement. To drive climate action and ambition forward, we are
firmly committed to ensuring that UN values are upheld at COPs. We
are also making every effort on our part to ensure that this will be
a COP process where the voices of youth, women, local communities,
Indigenous Peoples, and those most impacted by climate change will be
heard and reflected within the process."
In line with UNFCCC guidelines and adherence to international human
rights norms and principles, there will be space available for
climate activists to assemble peacefully and make their voices heard.
"We will work together to make COP28 the most inclusive UN Climate
Change Conference to date. To this effect, we have written to all
Parties urging increased participation and meaningful engagement of
youth, women, local communities, and Indigenous Peoples as members of
Party and observer delegations to COP, and in climate
decision-making, policy, and action in the lead up to and during COP
28 by providing appropriate quality and modalities of participation,"
the statement read.
Full inclusivity of the COP process is one of the four areas that
COP28 will focus on, the other three being fast-tracking the energy
transition, fixing climate finance, and focusing on lives and
livelihoods.
