On 4 and 5 March 2014 UNEP and the European Union (EU) funded Project Clima East, in partnership with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection of the Republic of Moldova, will organize a “Territorial Approach to Climate Change (TACC) and EU Climate Action” Workshop in Chisinau, Moldova.

The TACC workshop will introduce climate change impacts in Moldova, mitigation and adaptation strategies, energy efficiency in buildings and sustainable transport options, and the resources to finance integrated energy efficiency and renewable energy projects in municipalities. The workshop will also address lessons learned in climate change initiatives such as the Covenant of Mayors as well as best practices in the Eastern European countries. Participants will include high level representatives from local authorities and the national government from Moldova.

TACC is a joint partnership between four UN agencies (UNDP, UNEP, UNITAR and UN-Habitat) whose purpose is to increase knowledge and capacity of local authorities to identify risks and opportunities related to climate change at a sub-national level. Clima East is an EU funded project that assists the Eastern Neighbourhood Partnership Countries and the Russian Federation in approaches to climate change mitigation and adaptation.
