The Climate Action Tracker held a virtual event entitled: “What’s next for the African continent? Charting a path to ambitious climate action in 2023”

NewClimate joined E3G's event on boosting multilateral investments for biodiversity. In particular, the event looked at biodiversity and land-use finance and the challenges associated with it.

NewClimates Expertin Hanna Fekete hat an Energiesysteme der Zukunfts Webinar "Energiewende in Krisenzeiten: Sind Klimaschutz und Versorgungssicherheit vereinbar?" teil genommen.

This project aims to further advance the understanding of the universe of global subnational and non-state climate action, the potential impact of these actors on global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and their actual progress.

Sven Linder works in NewClimate Institute’s financial administration. He is responsible for the management and organisational systems as well as operating the accounting aspects of projects, grants and contracts. Before joining NewClimate Institute, he worked for large private banks.

This event takes stock of efforts by businesses, cities, and international cooperative initiatives and discusses new reports, progress and impacts, and opportunities to enhance NDCs and accelerate action across all sectors.

An event hosted by International Development Finance Club exploring 2050 pathways for climate and sustainability finance. The event started at 16h00 local time / 15h00 CET.

The event provided an overview of the state of play and remaining challenges of the multilateral development banks’ (MDBs’) Paris alignment process and discusses the most pressing and promising steps in delivering on the joint commitments. It gave space to the perspectives of shareholders in implementing their Paris commitments by aligning international finance flows including through the MDBs, reflecting also on key implications of last COP’s Glasgow Statement for the Clean Energy Transition.

The event will discuss how the net zero world is coming into sharper focus, through more convergence (of net zero standards), enhanced context (of what matters) and increased credibility (of entities' targets).

In this event we presented the latest research on the progress of major emitting countries and emission-intensive industries against Paris-consistent transition pathways and benchmarks. Featured research projects include various modelling projects supported by the European Union and the European Commission (e.g. ENGAGE) as well as analysis by the Systems Change Lab recently published in its State of Climate Action 2022 report. Speakers: Louise Jeffery, NewClimate Institute Michel Elzen, Senior climate policy analyst, PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency Ioannis Dafnomilis...

The UNEP Emissions Gap Report 2022: The Closing Window — Climate crisis calls for rapid transformation of societies provides an updated assessment of the gap between where we are heading in terms of global GHG emissions and where we need to be in 2030 to get on track towards the temperature goal of the Paris Agreement. This year’s report emphasizes the urgency of transformation, with a specific focus on key sectors, food systems and financial systems. This joint UNFCCC and UNEP special event featured high-level opening remarks and a presentation of the key findings of the UNEP Emissions Gap...

This event explored a just transition to sustainable mobility, with particular focus on regional and gendered perspectives. It included a deep dive into the hard-to-abate aviation sector, to discuss how equitable net-zero aviation could be delivered, while ensuring access to mobility for all. Speakers: Silke Mooldijk, NewClimate Institute Dan Rutherford, ICCT Akash Goenka, AEEE Sarah Colenbrander, ODI Jeremy Anderson, International Transport Workers’ Federation Jo Dardenne, Transport & Environment Further speakers tbc The event started at 11h30 local time / 10h30 CET.

The transformation of agriculture systems to reduce emissions feed a growing population in a warming planet is a challenge identified by the IPCC and others. A Just Protein Transition to plant-based proteins and agroecological farming are increasingly recognised as solutions. The event started at 18h30 local time / 17h30 CET.

The Net Zero Tracker aims to increase transparency and accountability of net zero targets pledged by nations, states and regions, cities and companies.

The event presented and discussed the results of multiple years of work to develop and update Paris-compatible sectoral benchmarks. Sectoral benchmarks break down the mitigation objectives under the Paris Agreement to the sectoral level and hence make them more accessible to a broader audience. Those benchmarks aim at helping decision makers to assess if recent developments and future targets of countries, as well as non-state and subnational actors, are compatible with the Paris Agreement’s long-term temperature limit. Beyond providing the benchmark, they also enlighten on the road to achieve...

This event launched the Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) 2023. The Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) is a tool for increasing transparency in international climate change policy we publish annually together with Germanwatch and Climate Action Network. It aims to enable transparency in international climate politics and comparability of individual countries’ climate protection efforts and progress. The CCPI uses a framework of standardised criteria to assess and compare the climate performances of 60 countries and the EU (as of CCPI 2022). These collectively account for over 90% of...

The Net Zero Tracker is the world’s only open-source independent review of the quantity and quality of net zero targets across countries, regions, cities, and companies and is complemented by ChatNetZero, the world’s first net-zero policy and action chatbot powered by large language models (LLMs).
