Our common challenge, our common vision
Need to act on climate change to ensure sustainable development and human well being
Deep synergy: Paris Agreement ↔SDGs Business as usual will not deliver. Profound structural
transformation needed Rapid climate action and implementation of the Paris
Agreement of the essence Secretariat: enabling implementation, not executing
agency
A new era, a new way of working
Secretariat to realign work to better support Parties and non-Party actors in required transformation
New clustering of work. Objectives:
Enhance coordination and effective use of secretariat capacity and skill sets
Be more agile in responding to Parties’ needs
Be more cost-efficient
Need to identify areas of work where efforts could be minimized or streamlined to prioritize Paris Agreement

Secretariat continues efforts to absorb work and increase cost efficiency
Work suffering from lack of predictable resources: Flat core budget + significant decline in voluntary funding
Need to ensure key areas of work in support of implementation and climate action sufficiently resourced

Catalyse engagement of actors at national and international levels Support not only to Parties but non-Party actors, highlighting
achievements and best practices and bringing actors together

Adaptation ► Technical advice, guidance and support to work of AC, LEG and WIM
Capacity-Building ► Support to Paris Committee
Transparency framework ► Implementation of analysis and reviews processes;
NDCs ► Management of NDC registry and facilitation of partnerships for action
Finance ► Tracking and transparency of support; support to SCF; preparation of BA and financial flows
Climate action ► Managing NAZCA; supporting champions; promoting climate action; engaging UN system, business, investors and sub-nationals
Communications ►Enhancing efforts to communicate more clearly on the benefits of climate action
Information platforms ► unfccc.int as information hub for climate action; upgrading IT platforms; modernizing conference systems

Building the new budget
One integrated budget for Convention and Paris Agreement
One scale of assessment for Convention and Paris Agreement
Adjust budget components (KP vs. Convention/PA)
Ensure more predictable funding (core vs. supplementary)
Two scenarios: Zero growth as mandated but will not enable
secretariat to deliver on mandates as it should Budget increase reflecting post-Paris reality
