Global Forum on the Environment and Climate Change

Paris, France (hybrid meeting) – 3-4 April, 2024, 9:30 – 17:30

This Global Forum on the Environment and Climate Change, jointly organised by the OECD and the IEA, aims to promote dialogue, and enhance understanding among a wide range of countries on key issues relevant to the international climate change negotiations and implementation of the Paris Agreement.

The sessions in this Global Forum will focus on insights to inform the next round of nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and on elements related to the new collective quantified goal (NCQG) on climate finance.

Marta Torres Gunfaus, IDDRI Climate Director, will participate in the session “Insights from Paris-consistent global emissions pathways for enhanced NDCs”, sharing some of the thinking and results of the DDP latest work.

Deep Decarbonization Pathways (DDP) for Nigeria’s Low Emission Development up to 2060

In a landmark move for environmental and economic sustainability, the Centre for Climate Change and Development (CCCD) at Alex Ekwueme Federal University has unveiled the Nigeria Deep Decarbonization Pathways (DDP-Nigeria) project report. This comprehensive document, the culmination of rigorous national and international collaboration, marks a significant milestone in Nigeria’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions and spearheading sustainable development across Africa.

2050 is now: Aligning climate action with long-term climate and development goals

  • Argentina, India, Indonesia

The DDP is part of the project “2050 is now: Aligning climate action with long-term climate and development goals” as an implementing partner. The project is led by the World Resources Institute. Other implementing partners include:

  • Fundación Bariloche
  • European Climate Foundation
  • Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) – USA
  • World Resources Institute (WRI) – India
  • World Resources Institute (WRI) Indonesia

This project will provide governments and in-country research institutes and other relevant stakeholders with tools and analysis to strengthen Long-term strategies on the mitigation of greenhouse gases (LTS) with a strong focus on energy and land-use and food systems, in line with national development goals. Therefore the project will help to align short- and medium-term sectoral, economic and national development plans with LTS, including supporting a just transition. This includes to identify opportunities to enhance Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), on the basis of LTS, while achieving development goals. The project will also build capacity beyond focus countries through convenings, research, and lesson-sharing. The project will improve governments’ readiness to increase ambition and implement actions in line with the long-term transitions necessary to limit warming and adapt to climate change as envisioned in the Paris Agreement.

Towards the Second NDC : Call for a National Dialogue on the Acceleration of Energy Decarbonization in Indonesia

Indonesia aims to reach net-zero emissions by 2060 or sooner. Initiatives like the JETP have shown the importance of the alignment of key national energy-related decarbonization strategies. A National Dialogue in the context of the 2nd NDC would be a key tool to help move forward the alignment and optimisation of implementation efforts.

On 18-19 December 2023, the Leveraging a Climate-neutral Society Strategic Research Network (LCS-RNet) will hold its 14th Annual Meeting online. Under the main theme “Further steps towards Net Zero: Ways to accelerate stakeholder collaboration between citizens, policymakers and researchers”, this annual meeting will feature two keynote speeches and four thematic sessions by leading and cutting-edge experts.The keynotes will feature two topics: ‘Demand-side measures’ and ‘Climate Citizens’ Assemblies’. Thematic sessions will cover ‘Forestry, both at urban and global level’, ‘How we can promote consensus building through public engagement?’, ‘Getting models and modellers to inform national low-carbon strategies: institutional and methodological challenges’ and ‘The role of science for sustainability’.

LCS-RNet is a network of researchers and research institutions closely involved in national climate policies. LCS-RNet was established by a Japanese proposal at the 2008 G8 Environment Ministers’ Meeting. (In 2021, the network was renamed from its original name, the International Research Network for Low Carbon Societies). The network is led by research institutes from five countries (Japan, Germany, France, Italy and the UK) and has contributed to international policy processes by sharing and disseminating research results, providing feedback to national policy processes, and supporting the efforts of various actors to achieve a low-carbon and decarbonised society.

The aim of the meeting is to exchange views with speakers and participants on a range of different topics. In addition, it will lead to future joint research and co-authoring of papers, as well as learning from each other about the initiatives and using the lessons learned in their respective implementations.

GST Africa Report #2 – African Perspectives of the First GST Outcome: a Focus on International Cooperation

  • Africa

Just published, this report focuses on global climate initiatives coordination and collective framework for effective integration of voluntary actions. A new vision is necessary, emphasizing creativity, context-specific strategies, and systemic transformations. African nations encounter challenges meeting Paris Agreement targets. This report urges for enhanced cooperation focusing on environmental, transformative, and distributive outcomes — an effort that COP28 could guide for improved international cooperation beyond UNFCCC.

DDP Annual Report Report 2023 – Innovative International Cooperation for Climate: Reconciling urgent action and transformational change

The report emphasizes the urgent need for swift and transformative action on climate change in line with the Paris Agreement’s temperature goals.

DDP Annual Report Report 2023 – Innovative International Cooperation for Climate: Reconciling urgent action and transformational change

The report emphasizes the urgent need for swift and transformative action on climate change in line with the Paris Agreement’s temperature goals. Incremental changes won’t suffice; instead, a systemic transformation involving both technological and organizational shifts across all sectors and countries is essential.
