Ready, willing and able: empowering countries to meet the climate challenge

The UNEP has released a collection of capacity building success stories titled "Ready, Willing and Able: Empowering Countries to Meet the Climate Challenge." According to UNEP, the publication aims to illustrate that important local climate change activities are possible and are happening. The publication highlights efforts including: boosting the uptake of clean technologies; creating market-readiness for clean energy investment; creating climate-resilient societies; implementing REDD+ (reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries, as well as conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of carbon stocks); and supporting countries in the UNFCCC process.
