UN Environment Programme Copenhagen Climate Centre (UNEP-CCC) The objective for the UNEP-CCC is that the Centre provides scientific analysis, knowledge, and capacity building for developing countries that allows them to pursue low-emission, climate-resilient pathways for sustainable development and global climate action. 

This is aligned with UNEP’s Medium-Term Strategy (MTS) for Climate Change, specifically i) Outcome 1A - Decision makers at all levels adopt decarbonization, dematerialization and resilience pathways; ii) Out-come 1B - Countries and stakeholders have increased capacity, finance and access to technologies to de-liver on the adaptation and mitigation goals of the Paris Agreement; and iii) Outcome 1C - State and non-State actors adopt the enhanced transparency framework arrangements under the Paris Agreement.

To achieve this objective, UNEP-CCC has set out three strategy areas in its own strategy for 2022-2025: i) policy, ii) implementation, and iii) transparency. A fourth cross-cutting area has been included for the Danish support to allow the Centre flexibility to remain an adaptive, agile, and learning institution. Eleven Programme Activities are proposed in this PD, each with its own expected outcome, outputs, interven-tion logic, partners, assumptions, and risks (further details are in Annex 10) and fall within the three inter-related Strategy Areas. The two remaining activities a) Emerging Challenges and b) Knowledge for Climate Action, are cross-cutting activities, supporting a) new, as yet undefined, issues and challenges, and b) communication, information and outreach. Activities will not be implemented in silos but aim for collabo-ration across the programmes, strategy areas, and countries.
