About
Please join us for a technical online briefing on the process and existing status of the selection of the Santiago Network on Loss and Damage (Santiago network) host secretariat on the 24th of October 2023 GMT 13:00 - 14:00, and an avenue to ask the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) secretariat technical questions.
The SNLD was created by the Conference of Parties under the Paris Agreement, to catalyse the technical assistance of relevant organisations, bodies, networks and experts, for the implementation of relevant approaches for averting, minimising and addressing loss and damage at the local, national and regional levels, at countries that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change.
The selection of the host secretariat of the Santiago network is currently under process.
The two proponents are the coalition of UNDRR-UNPOS and the Caribbean Development Bank (CBD). The executive summaries contained in the submitted proposals are available here: https://unfccc.int/proposalsSNhost?_gl=1%2A1753rae%2A_ga%2AMTUyMjIxODQyMC4xNjc1MjgyODEy%2A_ga_7ZZWT14N79%2AMTY4MDQ1ODI0NS42MC4xLjE2ODA0NjU2MjcuMC4wLjA.
The report of the evaluation panel on the hosting of the Santiago network secretariat is very informative and can be accessed here: https://unfccc.int/documents/628704.
This is a three-step briefing and consultation process, for stakeholders, regarding the selection of the Santiago network host secretariat. This first step is a technical briefing by the UNFCC. After this webinar, we will discuss between stakeholders, and assess interests and alignment of collective engagement, recommendations and/or positions regarding the Santagi network host secretariat selection.
