UNOPS en la COP31
Comunidades de todo el mundo sufren los efectos del cambio climático. Quienes están en primera línea no pueden esperar: necesitan medidas climáticas concretas ya.
A medida que se intensifican los desastres provocados por el clima y los fenómenos meteorológicos extremos, nunca ha sido tan urgente reducir la brecha entre las ambiciones globales y las medidas concretas sobre el terreno.
En la 31.ª Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Cambio Climático (COP31), que se celebra en Antalya (Türkiye), UNOPS se une a la comunidad internacional para acelerar los esfuerzos necesarios para cambiar el rumbo.
Con nuestro enfoque en la implementación, ofrecemos soluciones prácticas que ayudan a los países y a las comunidades a responder, adaptarse y prepararse ante los crecientes riesgos climáticos. Desde la construcción de infraestructura sostenible y resiliente, pasando por la ampliación de las adquisiciones públicas sostenibles como potente catalizador para la acción climática, hasta el impulso de iniciativas multilaterales para aportar soluciones climáticas donde más se necesitan.
