Event Notes: The overall objectives of the course are to increase and enhance the capacity of national delegates and observers to the UNFCCC COP processes to understand the legal and governance challenges involved in responding to climate change on the national and international levels. This necessarily includes strengthening the capacity of the target to respond to and address the challenges raised in the (i)NDCs and climate change action. Specifically, this course will enable participants to engage with and contribute to current key debates, as well as areas of focus and growth, in climate law and governance. These will be centered on the lessons of the Paris Agreement. These topics include: – Paris Agreement, law and mitigation; – Paris Agreement, law, adaptation and loss/damage; – Paris agreement financing, transparency and accountability; – Paris Agreement and REDD+; – Paris Agreement, human rights and migration; – Identify common legal and institutional barriers to climate action on the national level and methods of engaging institutional actors in discussions on climate action; – Find useful online resources and tools on climate law and governance issues and know how to use them in practice; and – Understand the process for legal preparedness assessments and the importance of legal preparedness assessments as tools for development and change.
