B. Special Announcement

Momentum for Change

COP 17/CMP 7 in Durban is the backdrop for the launch of the Momentum for Change Initiative. Stakeholders everywhere are increasing their commitment to address climate change. The momentum for action is growing.

In recognition thereof, and with the support of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the UNFCCC secretariat is launching a platform, which aims to enhance the visibility of actions benefiting communities and families, while at the same time being successful in either increasing resilience to or reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This is the first of a series of events, which will highlight exemplary climate change solutions implemented through public-private partnerships. Key criteria for the selection of projects to be presented is that they contribute towards fighting poverty, can be replicated in other countries and regions, and can be scaled-up.

• The launch event of the initiative will be opened by Mr. Ban Ki-moon, United Nations Secretary-General, H.E. Mr. Jacob Zuma, President of South Africa, and Ms. Christiana Figueres, UNFCCC Executive Secretary;

• Moderated by Lord Nicholas Stern, the event will present 10 exemplary projects from around the world, showcasing the fantastic efforts made, dedication to and success of established public-private partnerships;

• Project representatives will participate in discussions and answer questions from the audience.

All delegates and registered COP 17/CMP 7 participants are invited to attend the launch of this special event on 6 December 2011 in Plenary King Protea commencing at 6.30 pm. Momentum for Change. Change for Good.

B. The United Nations systems delivering as one on implementation to address climate change

As a unique international mechanism with universal membership that combines convening power, normative work, standard-setting policy development and operational activities, the United Nations system continues to focus on an action-oriented and coordinated effort to support the international community in addressing climate change. United Nations system organizations cooperate closely with a framework for action with targeted priority areas to achieve results on climate change action. Each agency contributes to this joint effort on the basis of its respective area of expertise, intergovernmental mandate and available resources. The overall objective is to maximize existing synergies, eliminate duplication and overlaps, while at the same time optimizing the impact of the collective efforts of the United Nations system in supporting countries implementing action to address climate change. This breadth and coherence of United Nations system activities is reflected in 17 Side Events at COP 17/CMP 7. The Side Events bring together a number of agencies under a thematic focus, all demonstrating how the United Nations system stands ready to respond to country needs and to support implementation action at global, regional, national and local levels, given the urgent need to accelerate action on adaptation and mitigation.

C. Climate Change Publications Counter

Publications that are clearly attributed to a Party or an admitted observer organization that is not exhibiting may be distributed and displayed at the Climate Change Publications Counter, after approval. The counter is located inside the exhibition area at the DEC. For approval, please provide a sample to Ms. Geeta Reddy at the Side Events and Exhibits Coordination Office. The counter cannot manage large volumes, but will assist in changing the range of documents on display. Organizers of Exhibits are requested to display and distribute documents at their own booths. Side Event advertisements and invitations can be posted on the notice boards located located opposite to the CCPC. Documents that are deposited elsewhere or not attributed to the conference will be removed.

IV. Virtual Participation Centre COP 17/CMP 7 includes newly created virtual conference facilities, comprising a Climate Change Studio, Digital Media Lounge and Bloggers� Loft work area.

A. Climate Change Studio The Climate Change Studio is a new initiative whereby selected Parties and observer organizations will have the opportunity to be interviewed by a professional journalist on their observations, solutions and actions concerning climate change. All interviews will be filmed, edited and broadcast on RTCC Climate Change TV, the world's first Internet broadcaster dedicated entirely to climate change issues. Interviews will be catalogued in a fully searchable database alongside other interviews with world leaders, expert observers, decision makers and activists in the international climate change debate. The Climate Change Studio is located in DEC. Interview preference will be given to those observer organizations that did not obtain a Side Event slot at COP 17/CMP 7, but other organizations as well as Parties are also invited to apply. Once your application is accepted, the content of your interview will be discussed and there will be time to meet briefly with the journalist to fine-tune the interview before shooting. The latest schedule of interviews at the Climate Change Studio can be viewed on the UNFCCC website.

For more information, or to request an interview, please contact:
