SGAIN at UN Climate Change Conference
Over the last two weeks, the UN Climate Change Conference COP29 has taken place in Baku, bringing together world leaders, businesses, civil societies and academics to advance solutions for tackling climate change.
We are pleased to share that several members of the SGAIN project are attending the conference, including principal investigator Yixian Sun.
As the Co-Chair of the UN-supported campaign Race to Zero's Working Group on Fair Share, Equity, and Justice, Dr Sun organised a meeting with key stakeholders and experts to discuss best practices and challenges to embed fair share, equity, and justice into net zero transitions of non-state actors. Further, he facilitated a meeting with Chinese stakeholders and the High-Level Champions team, and moderated a side-event on the role of youth action in the Sustainable Development Goals.
Other members of our project at COP29 are Dr. Khalid Waleed, a negotiator for Pakistan on mitigation issues and Ubaid ur Rehman Zia, representing Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI). Our distinguished advisory board members Thomas Hale, Erik Solheim and Kate Logan are also attending.
