We cordially invite all COPA members to a COPA side event at OEWG46! 

Accelerating the destruction of ODS waste: an open discussion on the role and lessons-learned of the Climate and Ozone Protection Alliance

 

The side event seeks to reflect on the important role of COPA as well as on the lessons learned after two years of its operation. The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and GIZ invite to debate how different aspects such as technology, regulatory frameworks, and financial mechanisms have been addressed in different contexts and countries. Success stories will be shared to encourage and inform new initiatives.
