Session 4 of the UN DESA Global Policy Dialogues for Climate Action will be held on Wednesday, 30 June 2021, from 8:30 to 10:00 a.m. EDT.

Experts will try to answer the following questions :
-How has the COVID-19 crisis put climate finance at risk?
-What are examples of good projects that are leading the path to jumpstart more investment in climate mitigation and adaptation efforts?
-What are some of the innovative applications of digital technology for mitigating the climate crisis?

Join UN DESA, finance experts, policymakers, and climate and sustainable development practitioners for a discussion of the best approaches for ensuring that climate financing measures are included in rebuilding efforts related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and that such efforts are inclusive and help the most vulnerable. Additionally, experts will discuss emerging digital solutions to the climate crisis, including ideas related to the Internet of Things, for climate adaptation and mitigation and ways to scale them up.

The event is free and open to all, and will be streamed live on UN DESA’s Facebook page. It will be held in English with captions available in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish. The event is made possible by the United Nations Peace and Development Trust Fund. All are welcome!
