  • Events 09.11.2017

To promote measures against global warming based on the Paris Agreement and to ensure transition to decarbonised societies it is important to link long-term targets/strategies with short- or mid-term concrete policy targets. As of August 2017, 155 Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) were submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) from 182 countries. In 2015, the 2030 Agenda for 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted. The climate change is one of the most crucial and urgent SDGs. This is because current actions will have a profound and everlasting effect on the future of the environment as well as mankind. Moreover, many actions aimed at tackling climate change will also help achieving other SDGs – such as ensuring access to affordable, clean energy and building resilient infrastructure. This side event aims to present:

  • Sectoral and concrete measures to tackle climate change under NDCs in each country
  • Synergies and trade-offs between certain measures and SDGs

With:

  • Mikiko Kainuma, Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) – Keynote
  • Prof. Dr. Stefan Lechtenböhmer, Director Research Group Future Energy and Mobility Structured, Wuppertal Institute – Panel discussion and presentation: Clean Growth and Innovation in a Changing World
  • Rizaldi Boer, Bogor Agricultural University – Presentation: Implementing Paris: How to Increase the Ambition of NDCs?
  • Yang Xiu, National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) – Panel discussion
  • Yann Briand, Institute for Sustainable Development and International Relations (IDDRI) – Panel discussion
  • Eric Zusman, Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) – Panel discussion

This side event aims to present 1) sectoral and concrete measures to tackle climate change under NDCs in each country; 2) prospects to achieve such measures; and 3) synergies and trade-offs between certain measures and SDGs. It also aims to share information contributing to attaining and improving NDCs in the future, and will call for further discussion. The side event is organised by the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES).
