In collaboration with Resilience First, Resilience Rising, the Race to Resilience Campaign, and the Marrakech Partnership, C2ES will explore practical actions to drive progress on the Sharm El-Sheikh Adaptation Agenda. This roundtable discussion is part of the official COP28 Global Climate Action Program and will be livestreamed for virtual audiences.

As global efforts intensify to realize the Sharm El-Sheik goals, the spotlight is on harnessing the might of private finance. This includes tapping into groundbreaking mechanisms that champion nature-based solutions. This implementation lab is designed to explore tangible actions, showcase real-world resilience initiatives from diverse perspectives, and share case studies from around the world. Participants will have the opportunity to dissect strategies that leading organizations are championing, all aligned with the overarching Sharm El-Sheik Adaptation Agenda’s outcome targets.

This Lab will showcase diverse real-world resilience initiatives in order to explore innovative private sector strategies for delivering to the Sharm El-Sheik Adaptation Agenda’s outcome targets.

Featuring:

• Nat Keohane, President, C2ES
• Seth Schultz, CEO, Resilience Rising
• Dr Mahmoud Mohieldin, UN Climate Change High-Level Champion COP27
• Barbara Buchner, Global Managing Director, Climate Policy Initiative
• Feike Sijbesma, Global Ambassador UNFCCC Race to Resilience

Over one year and $270 billion of new capital investment announcements later, the implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), is transforming the landscape of the U.S. economy and the pathway toward the U.S. NDC goal of reducing emissions 50-52 percent by 2030.

At this event hear from CEOs and senior executives in major segments of the U.S. economy—automotive, clean tech, industry, finance, and electric power—on how recent federal legislation is catalyzing new and additional investment flows into manufacturing, infrastructure, operations, and research and development of next-generation technologies.

Attend this event to learn about recent and new project announcements because of the IRA, and to explore how U.S. policy approaches and business solutions could be replicated and scaled globally.

An increasing number of Paris-aligned company targets include ambitious commitments to tackle value chain emissions—also known as indirect emissions. However, the current emissions reporting guidance lacks methods to credibly calculate and claim emissions reduction resulting from value-chain investments. Overcoming these barriers is a crucial step for companies to justify significant and necessary mitigation investments. Companies need credible and widely accepted guidance that dictates how they can capture and report the impact of their investments on hard-to-abate emissions outside their operational or financial control.

The Advanced and Indirect Mitigation (AIM) Platform—a partnership of the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES), Neoteric Energy and Climate, and Gold Standard—is an ambitious new initiative that aims to unlock new climate finance opportunities to decarbonize the hardest-to-abate sectors by identifying and removing barriers to value chain mitigation and supporting collective mitigation action.

Come learn about The AIM Platform’s mission and hear about our inaugural initiative, which will convene experts across civil society and the private sector to develop credible approaches to accounting, reporting, and claiming the results of value chain abatement interventions.
