Tax Justice Network Africa (TJNA) is set to participate in the second workshop of the Sharm el-Sheikh Dialogue, scheduled for October 6 and 7, 2024, in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. This workshop will focus on the scope of Article 2, paragraph 1(c) of the Paris Agreement and its complementarity with Article 9.
Organised by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and co-hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Government of Egypt and UNDP Egypt, the workshop will explore how the international financial system and various stakeholders both inside and outside the Paris Agreement influence climate action. Discussions will focus on improving transparency and credibility, with particular attention to preventing greenwashing and maladaptation.
The dialogues will be conducted in a hybrid format, allowing participation both in person and virtually. This includes representatives from parties and observer states, UN organisations, admitted intergovernmental organisations, and other non-party stakeholders.
