I4CE’s contribution to the Global Climate Action Agenda’s roadmap

29 September 2016 - Foreword of the week

I4CE’s contributions quoted alongside those of other stakeholders in the synthesis report prepared by the COP21 and COP22 champions on of submissions on the roadmap for global climate action.

The world climate champions for France and Morocco Laurence Tubiana and Hakima El Haite, launched call for submissions to Parties and Non-Party Stakeholders to the international negotiation processus on climate change to welcome views on their detailed roadmap.

Building on its previous work for COP21, I4CE contributed to the call by bringing its views on the action agenda and the importance of monitoring and assessing the non-state initiatives.

The main elements of our contribution are :

Aligning promoted initiatives with the Paris Agreement objectives
Maintaining an increased ambition that encourage actions that are truly new
Building a consensu around MRV criteria for projects
Working with stakeholders networks to facilitate cooperation between state and non-state parties

Some of these insights were included in the final synthesis released on September 16th, for instance those regarding long term action coherent with Paris objectives, the necessity for state and non-state actors to enhance their ambition, focus on the implementation of cooperative initiatives.

More and better finance: maximising positive climate impacts for a timely transition

Since the Paris Agreement in 2015, significant strides have been made to foster the commitment of countries and financial institutions to address the climate crisis and ensure that climate risks and opportunities are considered in investments. However, with emissions required to peak before 2025, our window of opportunity is rapidly closing to keep +1.5°C within reach. Financial needs to lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and to address adaptation priorities are increasing rapidly in the meantime. Luis Zamarioli Santos and Diana Cárdenas Monar, from I4CE, believe that commitment must urgently translate into action, and action must bring the urgent change the world needs. Both governments and public financial institutions have a central role to play to deliver more and better finance, maximising positive impacts. This blogpost highlights some opportunities to advance in the path for a systemic transformation, involving key stakeholders with a whole-economy approach.
