The Middle East and North Africa Climate Week (MENACW) 2023 provides a platform for the region’s policymakers, businesses and civil society to come together in advance of COP28, to exchange on climate solutions, barriers to overcome and opportunities realized in different regions. MENA Climate Week will be hosted by the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the city of Riyadh.
The MENA Climate Week is one of four Regional Climate Weeks that will be held this year to build momentum ahead of the UN Climate Change Conference COP28 in Dubai and the conclusion of the first Global Stocktake, designed to chart the way for fulfilling the Paris Agreement’s key goals.
The Weeks consider four major systems-based tracks with a view to providing region-focused contributions to inform the Global Stocktake:
- Energy systems and industry
- Cities, urban and rural settlements, infrastructure and transport
- Land, ocean, food and water
- Societies, health, livelihoods, and economies
