The UN Office for South-South Cooperation (UNOSSC) and the UNFCCC Technology Executive Committee (TEC) will convene a workshop to engage relevant stakeholders of developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region to: 1) enhance the understanding and the awareness of the potential of South-South and triangular cooperation in the region; 2) gain insight on how to make full use of the critical and complementary role of South-South and triangular cooperation to overcome shared challenges and accelerate progress towards sustainable development and implementation of the Paris Agreement on climate change; and 3) provide space for exchanging experiences among countries with a view to initiating or scaling up South-South cooperation initiatives.
The meeting will present success stories of South-South and triangular cooperation, including technological cooperation, discuss lessons learned and potential for replicability, and explore concrete and practical ways forward to enhance South-South and triangular cooperation to combat climate change and achieve sustainable development.
UNOSSC is hosted by the UN Development Programme (UNDP).
