Description
The Regional Climate Weeks 2021 Virtual Thematic Sessions for the Asia and the Pacific Region will take place from 6-9 July 2021. These Virtual Thematic Sessions will focus on partnering for whole society engagement in implementation, managing climate risks, and seizing transformation opportunities, and will include workshops, virtual exhibitions and side events.
Regional Climate Weeks are open to all stakeholders as a ‘go-to’ hub to build partnerships and to showcase ground breaking action in the regions. They are also designed to encourage and facilitate the implementation of ambitious Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement, along with the implementation of National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), Long-Term Low greenhouse gas Emission Development Strategies (LT-LEDS), and Global Climate Action and the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Regional Climate Weeks in 2021 are planned in different segments and will mainly take place virtually, with the option of some physical meetings if the status of the pandemic allows, with different levels of in-person participation according to the region. The Virtual Thematic Sessions are the second segment of the Climate Weeks.

- Africa Climate Week 2021 (ACW2021), hosted by the Government of Uganda;
- Asia-Pacific Climate Week 2021 (APCW2021), hosted by the Government of Japan; and
- Latin America and the Caribbean Climate Week 2021 (LACCW2021), hosted by the Government of the Dominican Republic.
