In this 2nd episode of the 6th season of Planet A Dan Jørgensen talks to the Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework on Climate Change, better known as UNFCCC, Simon Stiell.
They discuss the unique role of the UNFCCC in the global fight against climate change. The challenges ahead on the critical work streams – mitigation, adaptation, finance as well as loss and damage - and why Simon Stiell likes to describe his own position as “Accountability Chief”.
They also talk about the importance of the Global Stocktake coming up at this year's COP28, which enables countries and other stakeholders to see where they're collectively making progress toward meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement.
UNFCCC is the United Nations entity tasked with supporting the global response to the threat of climate change and most known for organizing the yearly global climate conference, the COP. But the secretariat with a staff of roughly 450 located in Bonn works tirelessly all year to support governments and institutions building resilience to the inevitable impacts of climate change and helps scale up climate action at all levels and in all sectors of society, including cities, regions, businesses and investors.
