Aprašymas

3 June, 13.00-14.30
BMU, Room 1.150
The European Union will report on the implementation of its fast start finance commitments and its experiences in delivering on them. The event will also engage participants in a panel discussion on climate finance for the future.
Prospects for a Global Agreement on International Aviation
7 June, 18.00-20.00
BMU, Room 1.150
Representatives of the EU and partner countries will discuss prospects for a positive outcome on aviation emissions at the ICAO Assembly in September 2013.
Refreshments will be offered.
Delivering a global phase-down of HFCs
10 June, 13.15-15.00
BMU, Room 1.150
This event will explore options for phasing down emissions of HFCs, powerful greenhouse gases being used to replace ozone-depleting substances which could rise from 1% of total global radiative forcing to over 20% by 2050. Taking action on HFCs would contribute significantly to closing the 'emissions gap' and could avoid, in a cost-effective way, more than 100 Gigatons of CO2 equivalent by 2050. Presentations will be made on options to reduce and avoid HFC emissions at national and international levels, with open discussion on the roles of the UNFCCC and the Montreal Protocol.
Lunch will be provided.
Presentations
- Background science & why HFCs are important – Philip O'Brien (Ireland)
- International Regulation and the Montreal Protocol – Dennis Clare (Federated States of Micronesia)
- National regulation; experience from the EU F-Gas regulations – Arno Kaschl (European Commission)
- An industry perspective – Dilip Rajadhyaska (Godrej & Boyce, Ltd, India)
Towards a 2030 framework for EU climate and energy policies
11 June, 18.00-20.00
BMU, Room Solar
The European Commission has launched a debate and public consultation on a 2030 framework for EU climate and energy policies. The Commission will present the Green Paper it adopted in March which frames key questions to be addressed in developing the 2030 policy framework. An invited speaker from a non-EU Party will give their perspective, after which the floor will be open for questions and answers.
Food and drinks will be offered.
