The Implementation Forum will take place on 3 and 4 September and will feature a series of events. Over the course of the two days, the Forum will include, among others, the Climate Week Opening Ceremony; a number of events hosted by the COP 30 Presidency, including events on “Mutirão”, climate action agenda and a mandated dialogue on advancing the role of local communities in the UNFCCC Process. Other sessions during the Implementation Forum will focus on climate finance and adaptation, for example the Adaptation Finance with a focus on Africa event and Public-Private dialogue on Finance.

As in Climate Week 1 2025, a dedicated space will be created for the Implementation Labs, which will focus on thematic issues, such as forests, agriculture, sustainable cities, energy transition and access, and carbon markets.

Expression of interest to participate in the Implementation Forum is open until August 8, 2025, following this link.

Implementation Labs & Call for Solutions

As part of the Implementation Forum, the UNFCCC Climate Week 2 will host Implementation Labs focusing on accelerating cooperative climate action through practical, problem-solving exchanges. To ground these sessions in real-world action and meaningful collaboration, the UNFCCC secretariat is calling for real-world, implemented, replicable solutions to be showcased and presented in-person as “concrete kick-off examples” at the Implementation Labs. The thematic areas for ILabs have been identified building on the COP 30 Action Agenda’s key objectives, including a strong emphasis on equality and inclusion, particularly of underrepresented groups such as women, youth, Indigenous Peoples and local communities, and taking into account the priorities of the Africa Climate Summit 2025 taking place after the Climate Week to ensure continuity and complementarity. The ILabs' thematic areas are:

  1. Agriculture
  2. Carbon markets
  3. Clean Energy and Access
  4. Forest
  5. Sustainable cities

Depending on the solutions submitted, it is intended that 2-4 solutions may be selected for each ILab. Funding, however, will not be provided from the secretariat to representatives of the selected solutions to participate in the ILabs. Importantly, these solutions will have the opportunity to feed into the COP 30 Action Agenda’s Granary of Solutions – with an aim to showcase relevant, scalable solutions aligned with the first Global Stocktake outcomes. For more information and to submit the solution, please using this online form no later than 23:59 (CEST) Thursday, 8 August 2025.

 

Based on the solutions submitted, below is the list of solutions that have been selected and invited to be presented at the Implementation Labs.
