There is today growing consensus that responding to a changing climate will require multi-level collaboration and new alliances. In the run-up to the deadline for a new international climate change agreement in 2015, the 17th Annual Chatham House Conference on Climate Change will focus on workable solutions that will help accelerate global decarbonization. This conference will ask:What will a global deal in 2015 look like? What are the key components of a shared vision? What elements do developing and developed countries need in order to reach agreement?How can the emerging international climate change regime – comprising voluntary partnerships, formal negotiations and business coalitions – deliver the necessary reductions in greenhouse gas emissions?To what extent will new energy realities affect the politics of climate change?What practical lessons can be learned from existing carbon mitigation and adaptation policies?How can the international community harness progressive leadership?Registration Michael AndersonChief Executive OfficerThe Rt Hon Gregory Barker MPMinister of State for Energy and Climate ChangeFrances BeineckePresidentTim BentonUK Champion for Global Food Security and Professor of Population EcologySam BickerstethChief ExecutiveTony De BrumMinister-in-Assistance to the PresidentGiles DicksonVP Environmental Policies and Global AdvocacyReid DetchonVice President, Energy and ClimateAlfred EvansChief Executive OfficerChristiana FigueresExecutive SecretaryMarcin KorolecMinister of Environment, PolandKate HamptonExecutive Director, Climate ChangeCameron HepburnProfessor of environmental economics, Smith School and INET at Oxford Martin School, University of Oxford, andDavid HoneClimate Change AdvisorPa Ousman JarjuSpecial Envoy for Climate ChangeSir David KingForeign Secretary’s Special Representative for Climate ChangeMartin KhorDirectorJohan KuylenstiernaDeputy-Director, Stockholm Environment InstituteJames LeatonProject DirectorBernice LeeResearch Director, Energy, Environment and ResourcesNick MabeyChief Executive OfficerAmina MohammedSpecial Adviser on Post-2015 Development PlanningJennifer MorganDirector of the Climate and Energy ProgramAdmiral Neil MorisettiForeign Secretary’s Special Representative for Climate ChangeMutsuyoshi NishimuraVisiting Research Fellow, Japan Institute of International affairsDr Atiur RahmanGovernorJohn SchellnhuberFounding DirectorTodd SternSpecial Envoy for Climate ChangeKelly RiggExecutive DirectorLaurence TubianaDirectorFraser ThompsonSenior FellowDominic WaughraySenior Director and Head of Environmental InitiativesFarhana YaminAssociate Fellow This conference will be held under the Chatham House Rule.

in Climate Change: Raising Ambition, Delivering Results By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Fri, 04 Apr 2014 10:08:33 +0000 Conference 3 November 2014 - 9:30am to 4 November 2014 - 1:15pm Chatham House, London Overview Agenda Speakers Pricing Media partners Sponsors Audience profile Venue and accommodation Press registration Climate change is climbing the political agenda. Extreme weather has raised questions in public discourse about the role of anthropogenic warming and concerns about its future impacts; slowdowns in emerging economies and sluggish recoveries in the developed world mean debates about the impact of climate policies on energy bills and competitiveness have assumed particular significance. Against this background, governments are gearing up for a crucial series of agreements in 2015 with climate change at their core. The international community must agree new global sustainable development goals, a new framework on disaster risk reduction and, at the 21st UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) meeting of the Conference of Parties (COP 21) in Paris, a new global deal on climate change. The 18th Annual Chatham House Conference on Climate Change will take stock of developments in 2014, including the latest science, the findings of high-level commissions, initiatives from the business community and the UN Secretary-General’s High Level Summit at the end of September. Looking forward to COP 20 in Lima and beyond, this conference will examine opportunities to raise ambition and convert this into results.In particular, it will:Review the latest science on climate risk and the implications for business, society and politics Examine the benefits of a low carbon economy, and assess the costs of climate action and where they fall Discuss concrete measures to decarbonize key sectors and the barriers to action Identify the critical path to the UNFCCC’s Conference of the Parties (COP 21) in 2015, and look at whether, and how, support for ambitious action can be built among publics, business and politiciansThe Chatham House Rule To enable as open a debate as possible, this conference will be held under the Chatham House Rule.Twitter Suggested hashtag: #CHclimate DAY ONEMonday 3 NovemberSession One Taking Stock and Mapping the Road Ahead09:30-11:15What was achieved at the UN Secretary General’s High Level Summit in September?

in Fossil Fuels Expert Roundtable: How Much Fossil Fuel Has to Stay in the Ground, and Where? By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Tue, 17 Feb 2015 16:00:01 +0000 Invitation Only Research Event 17 March 2015 - 4:30pm to 6:00pm Chatham House, London Event participants Christophe McGlade, Research Associate, UCL Institute for Sustainable ResourcesChair: Shane Tomlinson, Senior Research Fellow, Energy, Environment and Resources, Chatham House It has long been argued that if we are to limit the effects of climate change, some fossil fuel reserves must stay in the ground. But how much of each fuel; and which locations must remain untapped? A new study, recently published in Nature finds that a third of oil reserves, half of gas reserves and over 80 per cent of current coal reserves globally should remain in the ground and not be used before 2050 if global warming is to stay below the 2°C threshold. The speaker will discuss the methods used to generate these estimates, the key findings of the paper, and the implications that they may have in this milestone year for addressing climate change.

in Post-Paris: Taking Forward the Global Climate Change Deal By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Wed, 20 Apr 2016 09:38:39 +0000 21 April 2016 Inevitably, the compromises of the Paris Agreement make it both a huge achievement and an imperfect solution to the problem of global climate change. Rob Bailey Former Research Director, Energy, Environment and Resources @ClimateRob Shane Tomlinson Former Senior Research Fellow, Energy, Environment and Resources 2016-04-21-post-paris.jpg The slogan '1.5 Degrees' is projected on the Eiffel Tower as part of the World Climate Change Conference 2015 (COP21) on 11 December 2015 in Paris, France. Photo by Getty Images. SummaryThe Paris Agreement, reached at COP21, was a triumph of diplomacy. The deal can be characterized as: flexible, combining a ‘hard’ legal shell and a ‘soft’ enforcement mechanism; inclusive, as it was adopted by all 196 parties to the UNFCCC and is therefore the first truly global climate deal; messy, as the bottom-up process of creating nationally determined contributions means the system is unstandardized; non-additive, as the contributions do not currently deliver the agreement’s stated long-term goal of keeping the rise in global average temperature to ‘well below 2˚C’; and dynamic, as the deal establishes a ratchet mechanism that requires more ambitious contributions every five years.The next five years are critical for keeping the below 2˚C goal within reach. A ‘facilitative dialogue’ starting in 2018 will give states the opportunity to revisit their contributions in advance of the agreement entering into force in 2020. International forums, such as the G7 and G20, can play a crucial role in kickstarting these efforts.The ‘coalitions of the willing’ and clubs that were launched under the Lima-Paris Action Agenda provide an innovative space for state and non-state actors to unlock transformational change. However, it is important that these groups set specific and measurable targets to ensure effective delivery of objectives.The post-Paris regime implies a significant role for civil society organizations. However, in many countries the ‘safe operating space’ both for these organizations and for the media is shrinking. Expanding the capacity of civil society and the media in areas such as communications, litigation, project implementation and technical expertise will be important if they are to support the regime effectively.

in Accelerating Innovation for a Circular Economy By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Thu, 30 Jun 2016 09:15:01 +0000 Invitation Only Research Event 12 July 2016 - 9:30am to 5:30pm Chatham House, London Over the next two decades, a combination of ‘circular economy’ approaches and distributed manufacturing methods such as 3D printing raise the prospect of fundamental changes to the nature of production, the reconfiguration of supply chains and changes to patterns of resource consumption – with profound implications for sustainability. This roundtable will bring together expert participants from companies, government, civil society and academia to discuss the state of innovation in the ‘circular economy,’ with a particular focus on the approaches and activities of entrepreneurs and investors, what is needed to scale up and accelerate innovation, how to track and measure progress, and how to ensure that innovation in the ‘circular economy’ makes a significant contribution to the meeting of short and medium term climate and sustainability goals.Attendance at this event is by invitation only.

in Security and Climate Change: Are we Living in 'The Age of Consequences'? By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Fri, 11 Nov 2016 14:23:00 +0000 Research Event 1 December 2016 - 7:00pm to 9:00pm Chatham House, London Event participants Brigadier General Stephen A. Cheney, CEO, American Security Project; Member, Foreign Affairs Policy Board, US Department of StateMajor General Munir Muniruzzaman, President and CEO, Bangladesh Institute of Peace and Security Studies; Former Military Advisor to the President of Bangladesh Rear Admiral Neil Morisetti, Director of Strategy, UK Department of Science, Technology, Engineering and Public Policy; University College London; Former UK Government Climate and Energy Security EnvoyDr Patricia Lewis, Research Director, International Security, Chatham HouseChair: Rt Hon Sir Oliver Letwin MP, Former UK Cabinet Office Minister The US Department of Defense regards climate change as an ‘accelerant of instability and conflict’. A former head of the US Pacific Command described it as the most significant long-term security threat in his region. US federal agencies have recently been mandated to fully consider the impacts of climate change in the development of national security policy. This step-change in the US approach reflects the Pentagon’s conclusion that climate impacts are a ‘threat multiplier’ for security concerns – not just for the future – but which pose ‘an immediate risk to national security’.A new documentary from the US, The Age of Consequences, explores the links between climate change and security, including in current events in Syria, Egypt, the Sahel and Bangladesh. Our high-level panel will reflect on key sections from the documentary, which will be screened during the event, and explore whether security strategists, militaries and policy-makers in nations other than the US are fully cognisant of the risks posed by a changing climate, and whether they are ready to anticipate and respond to its potentially destabilizing effects.The panel discussion will be followed by a Q&A.THIS EVENT IS NOW FULL AND REGISTRATION HAS CLOSED.
