Advocacy
-
Participate in major international events
With the opportunity to showcase their leading actions internationally; taking part in coalitions and affirming international commitments; and for members with budgetary limitations, benefiting from financial support for attendance.
Our key events:
-
Networking
Through facilitated access to intergovernmental bodies, international organisations and key stakeholders, and exclusive meetings with UN leaders and heads of governments.
-
Follow-up global negotiations
And the possibility to access decision-making processes, political and technical discussions to advance multi-level governance.
Regions4 is an influential political platform. It played a decisive role at COP14 by strengthening the bonds between regions and the CBD, and it has established a strong climate change adaptation network that is entirely dedicated to regions and actively involved in various initiatives of the UNFCCC.Benoit Charette Minister of the Environment and the Fight against Climate Change - Quebec
