Background
In April 2020, the Paris Committee on Capacity-building (PCCB) launched the PCCB Network as an important tool in accomplishing its mission of sharing capacity-building efforts and activities among members of the Network, the PCCB and other capacity-building actors and stakeholders for the implementation of the Paris Agreement. At its annual meeting, the PCCB decided to extend the pilot phase of the Network until the end of 2021 so as to include the potential engagement of the PCCB Network members at the next Capacity-Building Hub at COP26.
The 2nd Meeting of the PCCB Network was successfully held on April 27th, 2021. Almost 100 participants attended the meeting, and members tuned in from 37 different countries, representing the diversity of the network and how over its first year the Network has continued to grow globally. At the meeting, members were able to learn about the accomplishments of the PCCB Network and share their experience of being associated with the network over the past year, while also exchanging ideas and proposing activities to enhance capacity-building efforts. A written summary of the outcomes and visual impressions from the meeting are provided on this page.
Objectives
The 2nd meeting of the PCCB Network celebrated the work done, activities and achievements through the Network’s first year. The anniversary meeting aimed to provide the members with a platform to reflect on the first year alongside exploring potential events, activities, and collaboration opportunities. The meeting, therefore, served the purpose of further strengthening the Network by fostering engagement, networking, and collaboration. The aim of the meeting was to identify the networking and collaboration needs of the members by providing the members a platform that encourages the exchange of experiences and ideas. The objectives of the meeting were:
