Engaging key stakeholders in the implementation of long-term strategies

Webinars - By : Louise KESSLER, PhD

Date : Thursday, 17th November , 13.30 16.30 (Paris time)

Location: IDFC pavilion and online

Organizing: I4CE IDDRI, ADEME

The Paris Agreement enacted two complementary dynamics for an ambitious action on climate. On the one hand, according to a bottom-up approach, the mitigation and adaptation commitments as well as the policies deployed in this respect fall to the national governments, who bear the responsibility to submit their national contributions to the global effort and to define the actions they intend to engage to achieve their objectives. On the other hand, non-state actors, notably companies, have been officially recognized for the first time within the framework of international negotiations, have significantly contributed to the construction of a favorable dynamic and have voluntarily taken more and more decarbonisation commitments.

 

 

However, these dynamics remain too disconnected at this stage. Countries continue to revise their Long-Term Strategies (LTSs) and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), but these strategies are often missing some descriptions relevant for the implementation by the economic actors of the society. On the other hand, non-state actors are very dynamic, developing more and more concrete initiatives, but without strong governmental support as they are struggling in identifying where to act most effectively.

 

This session has shared lessons from different in-country initiatives regarding the current implementation of long-term strategies and stakeholder engagement. It facilitated a discussion with different stakeholders from finance ministries, from development banks, from the private sector, from experts from developing countries and from international institutions.

    Bridging the gap: high-level climate & development finance commitments and the reality on the ground

    The 4th International Conference on Financing for Development (FFD4) in Seville represents a milestone for delivering on development (including climate action) goals, a decade after the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. The “Seville Commitment” was adopted on June 30th, albeit in the absence of the United States – demonstrating that widespread support remains for a comprehensive package to finance development. However, the outcome also embodies the growing chasm between high-level commitments and the reality of financing for development and climate action on the ground. Recent research by I4CE attempts to bridge this gap on two crucial issues.

    From headline trillions to actual millions: climate financing needs estimates in the age of implementation

    As climate finance debates evolve from pledges to implementation, this report critically reviews the methodologies and narratives behind existing climate financing needs estimates to examine how they might be used to guide practical efforts in the years to come, and where the most urgent improvements are needed. From headline trillions to actual millions, the challenge ahead is not just about determining how much is missing – the focus should be on closing this gap in practice.
