From 30 November to 12 December 2023, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) hosted the 28th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Dubai – UN Climate Change Conference at the United Arab Emirates (#COP28) 

COP28 is one of the most important moments for global climate action, and this year the COP28 Presidency’s two-week thematic programme focused on responding to the Global Stocktake – review of progress on commitments to reduce emissions and adaptation planning – and closing the gaps so that we can achieve the goals of the 2030 Agenda. 

The COP28 Presidency was the first to hold an open consultation on thematic areas, inviting contributions from a wide range of stakeholders from governments, businesses, civil society, youth and indigenous peoples, among others.  Each day of the COP28 programme was dedicated to specific themes that will support the global outreach for Climate Action, themes include gender equality, youth action, energy, agriculture and others and incorporates four cross-cutting themes: Technology and Innovation, Inclusion, Frontline Communities and Finance.  which will be explicitly incorporated into both the content and the speakers.

Regions4 at COP28

This year is an important year for the Global Stocktake, providing a five-year progress report on climate commitments and adaptation. Regions4 participation at COP28 involved participating in key events, organizing key debates and discussions through our leading events, inputting in the negotiations around the Global Goal on Adaptation and providing inputs from regional governments to the Global Stocktake.  

As an observer organisation accredited to the UNFCCC, the overall objective of Regions4 participation at UNFCCC COPs, and COP28, is the promotion of multilevel governance for increased ambition and effective action on climate adaptation through the key role of regional governments. Regions4 brings forward innovative solutions that can be up-scaled and has presented the role Regions4 and its initiative, RegionsAdapt, plays in supporting regional governments in raising their ambitions on adaptation and resilience. 

Regions4 works closely with the Local Governments and Municipal Authorities (LGMA) constituency, as co-lead of their working group on adaptation with the Committee of European Regions (COR), to advocate for a multi-level action COP, in which collaboration at all levels of government is recognized, as the new normal, and considered in the announced new ambitions.  

Through the Race to Resilience campaign, Regions4 continues to provide further visibility to the actions of regions, as part of the non-party (national governments) actors’ community, developing and accelerating actions towards resilience.  

The Regions4 network counted on the presence of 21 regions at COP28: Baja California Sur, Basque Country, California, Catalonia, CONGOPE, Council of Governors Kenya, Cross River State, Flanders, Jalisco, KwaZulu-Natal, Lombardy, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Rabat Sale-Kenitra, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, South Australia, Wales and Yucatán. 

Regions4 key messages 

Regions4’s Key Publications Launched at COP28

RegionsAdapt 2023 Report: Climate justice

RegionsAdapt is the pioneering initiative launched in 2015 at COP21 that brings together leading regions on climate change adaptation, to foster collaboration, as well as learning and raising capacities. Annually, Regions4 releases RegionsAdapt annual reports report, based on CDP data and BC3 interviews, detailing progress and actions by regional governments in adapting to climate change.

This year’s report not only continues reporting to the Race to Resilience Campaign but introduces a groundbreaking thematic exploration into climate justice. It illustrates how regional governments integrate vulnerable communities and climate justice dimensions into their climate adaptation strategies.

The report will be officially unveiled to the global audience with livestream on Regions4 YouTube channel on 5 December 2023, 17:00 GST directly from the Resilience Hub pavilion at the Blue Zone, at COP28. RegionsAdapt 2023 Progress Report is available here.

Policy Brief on Transformative Multilevel Action: Subnational Solutions For Climate & Biodiversity

With the support of the Post2020 Biodiversity Framework EU Support project, implemented by Expertise France, and authored by Regions4 experts with support from Quebec’s Advisory Committee on Climate Change, the paper addresses the importance of subnational governments as innovation laboratories for local and inclusive solutions to the dual climate and biodiversity crisis. The Policy Brief is available here.

Regions4’s Contributions to the LGMA Constituency

Position Paper

Subnational governments as part of the Local Governments and Municipal Authorities (LGMA) constituency had co-developed key messages and recommendations for their expectations for the negotiations of COP28 that will come to inform the negotiations. Read the position paper here.

Global Goal on Adaptation

In particular, we have worked hard this year to engage in the negotiations on the Global Goal on Adaptation to ensure that it takes into account the contributions of subnational governments and looks at supporting subnational governments to accelerate action. As a result of these efforts, the UNFCCC Presidency has asked for our input. Read the submission here.

Outcome Statement

At the end of COP,  the LGMA constituency released a statement summarizing the outcomes of COP28, to which Regions4 has contributed. The statement hailed the unprecedented inclusion of local and subnational governments in the proceedings and outcomes and emphasized the critical role of multilevel action and cooperation in addressing the climate emergency. Read the outcome statement here.

#RegionsVoice 

In 2019 Regions4 launched the global campaign #RegionsVoice in a collective effort to bring the voice of regional governments to the major events and negotiation processes in sustainable development within the UN.

The aim of the campaign is to ensure the visibility and wider recognition of the role of regional governments in sustainable development, by elevating both individual and collective messages and engaging with a wider audience during the UN Decade of Action.

Explore the 25 stories from 20 regional governments that were shared by #RegionsVoice at COP28 on its dedicated page here.
