14 November 2024. "The COP29 side event, “Partnerships to Strengthen Climate Resilience in Least Developed Countries,” brings together key stakeholders to address the urgent climate challenges facing LDCs, who are disproportionately impacted by climate change. Despite minimal contributions to global emissions, LDCs face significant vulnerability due to limited adaptive capacity. Supported by UNIDO, GEF, Climate Analytics, and IIED, this event underscores a commitment to bolstering LDC resilience through coordinated action, resource access, and partnership building. A joint statement will be announced, reaffirming strengthened partnerships to support adaptation, resilience, and access to climate finance, and fostering collaboration for long-term climate action."

Aligning climate and trade policy for LDCs and graduates

Graduation from “Less Developed Country” status marks huge economic and social progress, but risks can arise after the loss of international support measures. To deliver the SDGs and halve greenhouse gas emissions, climate and trade policy need to align in a way that works for the poorest.

The LDC Group and the Alliance of Small Island States formed an influential and ambitious bloc in the UN climate negotiations. However, LDC trade and climate policy communities need to engage in a structured way to support transitional measures.

This event seeks to reflect on the outcomes of COP26 (particularly around carbon markets) and their implications for the LDC Group ahead of MC12. The event seeks to engage in discussions on trade, the environment and climate, building on the outcomes of the Aligning Climate and Trade Policy for LDCs and Graduates assignment undertaken by ODI and IIED for the Enhanced Integrated Framework of the WTO.
