Global warming implications for a Small Island State like Trinidad and Tobago - an intersectional discussion

Date 30 Aug 2019
Time 15:00 - 18:00
VenueNormandie Hotel, St Ann’s, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago

The world is on track to warm by 3°C by the end of the century under its current emissions trajectory. What does this mean for Trinidad and Tobago as both a small island developing state highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and with an economy highly dependent on oil and gas revenue and subsidies?

Limiting warming to 1.5°C and intergenerational justice

Date 17 Jun 2019
Time 15:00 - 16:30
VenueWorld Conference Centre Bonn, Room Bonn
Without urgent climate action in the next decade, today's 16 year old will live in a 1.5°C warmer world and have an ever shrinking range of options to deal with the legacy of inaction on cutting carbon emissions. We join forces with the World Resources Institute to present the latest science on what governments can do to limit warming to 1.5°C, and host a panel discussion with youth representatives and negotiators from SIDS, LDCs and developed countries.

COP24 side-event: IPCC Special Report on 1.5°C, NDCs and Cryosphere

Date 12 Dec 2018
Time 16:45 - 18:15
VenueRoom 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.

Time 15:00 - 16:30
VenueCOP24, Katowice, Poland, UNDESA/GEIDCO Pavilion

UN-OHRLLS intends on continuing its engagement with Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and all stakeholders on the issue of Loss and Damage at COP24, building on the High-level Event titled: LOSS & DAMAGE & the 2030 Agenda “BUILDING STRONG LINKAGES” it co-organised with UNDESA at COP23 in Bonn, Germany.

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
VenueHumboldt 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.

What’s the hurry - bending the carbon emissions curve

Date 26 Sept 2018
Time 13:30 - 16:00
VenueScandinavia House, 58 Park Ave, New York, NY 10016
This event during Climate Week NYC will look at the scientific and political dimensions of why 2020 is such a crucial year for climate action.
