Transport and buildings emissions in 2030: Where would best practices take us and where do we need to be?
| Date | 25 Oct 2019 - 9 Mar 2025 |
| Time | 03:43 - 03:43 |
| Venue | 25 October 2019, 9:00am–16:30pm, Kastanienallee 82, 10435 Berlin, Germany |
This event in Berlin will present the quantitative results of an analysis conducted by Climate Analytics as part of the CEE Climate Policy Frontier project focusing on emissions reductions in the transport and building sectors in six Central and Eastern European countries: Bulgaria, Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia. For each of the countries and sectors, the team will present three sets of emissions pathways.
From the smallest islands to the highest peaks – oceans, ice and climate change
| Date | 26 Sept 2019 |
| Time | 09:00 - 11:00 |
| Venue | Scandinavia House, 58 Park Ave, New York, NY 10016 |
Following closely the release of the IPCC special report on oceans and ice, this event during Climate Week NYC will outline its main findings and - together with representatives of Small Island Developing States and Least Developed Countries - discuss the implications for vulnerable countries.
The race to zero emissions: How countries can improve their climate pledges and close the gap to 1.5°C
| Date | 25 Sept 2019 |
| Time | 09:00 - 11:00 |
| Venue | Scandinavia House, 58 Park Ave, New York, NY 10016 |
In an effort to drive governments to commit to faster and deeper emission reductions, the UN Secretary General invited leaders to announce stronger commitments at the Climate Action Summit under the theme ‘A Race We Can Win. A Race We Must Win.’ This event during Climate Week NYC, will look at how the world is tracking against the internationally agreed climate goals in the Paris Agreement, and how the next round of climate pledges can be improved BY 2020 to keep the window open for avoiding the worst impacts of climate change.
Global warming implications for a Small Island State like Trinidad and Tobago - an intersectional discussion
| Date | 30 Aug 2019 |
| Time | 15:00 - 18:00 |
| Venue | Normandie 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 |
| Venue | World 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 |
| 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.
