COP24 side-event: IPCC Special Report on 1.5°C, NDCs and Cryosphere
| Date | 12 Dec 2018 |
| Time | 16:45 - 18:15 |
| Venue | Room Narew (Reception Follows, Room Wisla) |
The IPCC special report on 1.5°C outlined the few pathways remaining to minimise a broad range of climate impacts, including growing loss and damage from sea-level rise and other global feedbacks driven by polar and mountain regions. At this COP24 Side Event we discuss the needed 2020 commitments to prevent irreversible changes and risks, including in cryosphere, with appropriate urgency and ambition.

Where are we and where do we want to go - impacts avoided by limiting warming to 1.5°C
| Date | 27 Nov 2018 |
| Time | 18:30 - 20:30 |
| Venue | Humboldt Universität Auditorium 2091, main building, Unter den Linden 6 10117 Berlin |
The recent IPCC report provides comprehensive evidence of climate change impacts today and how they will increase with 1.5°C warming and even more with 2°C. The project HAPPI-DE has contributed significantly to the science base underlying the 1.5°C special report. This event will showcase the project's main findings in the context of the report and discuss its significance for the upcoming climate conference COP24 and the Talanoa Dialogue with experts from government and civil society.

Join us for an event during Climate Week NYC 2018 to find out about some of the latest science findings on climate impacts, and benefits of limiting global warming to 1.5°C, and what this means for implementation of the Paris Agreement, especially in terms of the scale and pace of decarbonisation required to achieve this goal, and what policies are needed.
The ‘Islands COP’ 2017: 1.5°C science, significance and ingredients for success
| Date | 20 Sept 2017 |
| Time | 09:00 - 12:30 |
| Venue | Climate Hub, Instituto Cervantes 211 E 49th St, New York, NY 10017 |
Fiji’s presidency of COP23, the first ‘Islands COP,’ offers an opportunity for SIDS and other most vulnerable countries to put their concerns and ambitions at the forefront of the negotiations and in the implementation process. This event will present the latest science on climate impacts on small islands to underscore the urgency of action, discuss the key ingredients for success of COP23 and opportunities to accelerate Paris Agreement implementation.
