Created in 2015, the Paris Committee on Capacity-building (PCCB) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) addresses current and emerging gaps and needs in implementing and further enhancing capacity-building in developing countries. The PCCB Network is envisioned as a voluntary association of interested stakeholders engaged in climate-related capacity-building who can share information on good practices of their work, contribute to the work of PCCB in fulfilling its mandate, and seek to connect with their peers across sectors and regions. The goal of the PCCB Network is to foster synergies and enhance coherence and coordination in capacity-building efforts for climate action. Activities of the PCCB Network will align with the PCCB’s work areas:
- Coherence and coordination on capacity-building under and outside the Convention
- Identifying capacity gaps and needs in climate change related capacity-building
- Awareness-raising, communications and stakeholder engagement on climate change related capacity-building
- Cross-cutting issues in climate change-related capacity-building
