COP19, CMCC participations in events and meetings

Posted on

The CMCC will participate in the nineteenth session of the Conference of the Parties (COP19) to be held from 11 to 22 November 2013 in Warsaw, Poland.

More in detail, CMCC, in collaboration with the Lombardy Foundation for the Environment, organizes the side event “Integrating Climate Knowledge into Planning, Orientgate and other case studies in SEE” .
The side event alongside UNFCCC COP19 will take place on November 21st, 2013 (h. 3:00 – 4:30 pm, room Wroclaw).
Climate issues are intrinsically not addressable by a single nation and a transnational approach is crucial to deal with a problem having no boundaries. Effective long term adaptation strategies require overall coordination in establishing shared objectives and management schemes even if ultimately implemented at regional and local scales. Moreover, the substantial knowledge produced by the scientific communities should be properly taken into account to inform policies and develop strategies. The side event will bring together scientists, policy advisors and policy makers to share their experience in integrating their expertise and knowledge in addressing the climate adaptation issue: case studies, project activities and concrete strategies will be analyzed at EU, national and  regional level. Among speakers, Antonio Navarra (CMCC President), Corrado Clini (Italian Ministry for the Environment, Land and Sea, Director General), Ariel Milosevic (Republic Hydrometeorological Service of Serbia – RHMSS – Project manager), Zsuzsa Ivanyi (REC, Climate Change Senior Expert), Bettina Menne (WHO European Centre for Environment and Health, Programme Manager), Antonio Ballarin Denti, (FLA, Scientific Coordinator), Liva Stokenberga (Milieu Ltd, Policy Advisor), Neil Swannick, Committee of the Regions  – CoR –, Rapporteur for the CoR opinion on the EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change), Fabrizio Piccarolo, (FLA, Director).

Dr. Navarra will also participate to the side event “Transition to Low-Carbon Resilient Societies: From Theory to Reality” (19 November h. 12:30-14:00, Japan pavilion), organized by International Research Network for Low Carbon Societies (LCS-RNet), Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) and the Japanese National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES). Participants will discuss about why the transition to a low-carbon society is a matter of urgency, they will address how to use transitions to a low carbon society as powerful leverage for sparking wider transitions and how to share wisdom of both developed and developing countries.

Antonio Navarra is also the moderator of the side event “Implementing Climate Actions on the basis of Territorial Cooperation” to be held on November 21st, 2013 (h. 4:45 – 6:15 pm, room Wroclaw). The event is jointly organized by the Network of Regional Governments for Sustainable Development (nrg4SD) and the The Climate Group (TCG).
Speakers will present case studies on territorial cooperation for climate change mitigation and adaptation, while showing collaboration experiences between different territorial agents (region-region, city-city, region-city, territory-region, territory-city).

Prof. Carlo Carraro and Dr. Emanuele Massetti take part in the side event “Costs and benefits of adaptation to climate change and the sustainability of public finance in the EU”. The side event is jointly orgianised by Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei and Università Ca’Foscari Venezia and is scheduled on Thursday, 21st Nov 2013 – 16:45-18:15 – The National Stadium – Room Cracow.

Dr. Navarra takes also  part in Be The Movement, a workshop organized by Connect4Climate in cooperation with the University of Warsaw in parallel to COP19. This workshop brings together a variety of climate change professionals: educators, youth, civil society organizations, private sector representatives and Connect4Climate partners. Together they discuss in order to identify practical and useful strategies for igniting a more energetic, robust gobal movement to combat climate change.

Experts, professional consultants, and people curious about climate change are invited to visit CMCC stand from November 18th, to November 22nd, 2013.
The exhibit will present materials about research on climate change realized at CMCC, Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM), International Center on Climate Governance and Ca’Foscari University of Venice while showing cases analyses and recent publications relevant to climate science, climate modeling, climate change impacts and policies.
