Climate Change Programme - CCP
Developing countries, called 'Non-Annex I' in the context of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) negotiations, have experienced great difficulty in implementing decisions and policies at the country level. The objective of the UNITAR Climate Change Programme is to address these capacity constraints.
Guided by the UNFCCC COP7 Decisions 2 and 3, the UNITAR Climate Change Programme assists in enhancing or creating regional pools of expertise in the developing world, as well as strengthening the infrastructure for delivering capacity building activities and developing their human resources.
The Climate Change Programme is giving priority to Southern research institutions and NGOs that have expertise in the area of climate change and are committed to building capacity at the national and regional level. It promotes the work of partner organisations, assists in their fund raising, and facilitates efficient and secure communication between partners.
