The UN Climate Change secretariat’s 2021 annual report highlights results from the actions undertaken by the secretariat last year, including: the outcomes from the 2021 May-June Climate Change Sessions (the first time all Parties came together since COP25 in 2019); the positive outcomes from COP 26 in Glasgow, where Parties adopted the Glasgow Climate Pact, which aims to turn the 2020s into a decisive decade for climate action and support; and where the guidelines for the full implementation of the Paris Agreement were finalized allowing for scaled-up cooperation, the mobilization of additional finance and private sector engagement.

This is the secretariat’s fifth report and it aims to further enhance the understanding of the secretariat’s work for a broad range of stakeholders on our accomplishments, and also the challenges and opportunities of addressing climate change.
