EVENTS WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF CMCC EXPERTS

Transparency, Policy Surveillance, and Levels of Effort
December 9, 2015 – h. 10:30/12:00 – Japanese Pavillon (Blu zone)

The IPCC at a Crossroads: Enhancing the Usefulness of IPCC to the UNFCCC Process
December 9, 2015 – h. 11:30/13:30
The IPCC’s past success in synthesizing large volumes of research and communicating the results to policymakers does not guarantee future success. We discuss problems and challenges that the IPCC faces and address two questions: Is the IPCC doing the right things? Is the IPCC doing things right? (Co-organized by FEEM, PIK, Harvard University and Stanford University)

Multi-Level Climate Governance: An Integrated Analysis of National, Regional and Local Policies

Can National Policies and INDCs alone lead to a Workable and Effective Climate Regime?
December 8, 2015 – 11:30/13:00 – Blu Zone
