The Climate Change Programme (CCP): Represents the core of UNITAR’s activities in the area of climate change and the programme approach aims at building and developing capacity both at the country and regional levels to deal with the impacts of climate change, both on adaptation and mitigation.

At the regional and international level, networks are created such as with centers of excellence and international organizations working on climate change, to produce resource materials such as training modules, climate screening tools that are tested and disseminated for wider use.

At the country level the outputs of these regional and international networks formed such as training modules and the screening tools, provide through training workshops and organized fellowship, experts who train country representatives to meet and address their capacity needs.

The CCP network   is a reflection of the partners the programme works with at the country level to increase and build capacity on climate change.

 The projects of the Climate Change programme reflect how the programme build capacity within the research centers of excellence and also at the country level.

The Global Climate change Adaptation network   facilitated by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is an example of an international network of which the Climate Change programme is a partner. This network proposes to mobilize the resources of relevant regional centers and ground networks to enhance key scientific, technical and most importantly institutional capacity for adaptation in a synergic and coherent manner that will benefit developing countries.
