    Responding to political and ethical challenges of global climate change

It recognises that the poorest, most vulnerable people regularly suffer the greatest impacts of climate change even though they produce the least emissions that drive it.

It will highlight EU success stories and opportunities for collaboration and the sharing of good practices with other UNFCCC parties.
