18:00-19:30		Observer rm 2Relevance of the CDM and coopera3ve mechanisms in the new climate regime for Africa
University of Zurich, Perspectives
Reforms of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) such as programmatic approaches and simplified
methodologies have strengthened access to the CDM by African countries. Learning the lessons from
Africa’s CDM experience and promoting current negotiation positions are key steps to achieve further
CDM reform and development of multilateral rules suitable for an equitable participation of African
countries in future carbon markets and results-based finance schemes.
The event provides a platform to discuss African negotiation positions, efforts by the UNFCCC
Secretariat, and experiences from research regarding the challenges and opportunities of carbon market
and results-based finance mechanisms for Africa.

11:30—13:00		Blue zone, Observer room 3Technology solutions for a 2°C world: Investing in renewables, storage, energy efficiency and CCS - Discuss with us: Reducing greenhouse gas emissions to a level where atmospheric concentrations provide for a 2°C goal requires the development and deployment of a broad portfolio of mitigation technology solutions. Many of the technologies needed are already in use or in mature stages of development. In order to achieve the necessary emissions reductions many of these technologies will need to be deployed at large scale by 2020, when the Paris agreement is expected to start, and certainly all of them commercially available within that decade. Strong policy and investment decisions are required now to enable this to happen.Grantham Institute, Imperial College London - Register your interest to attend, receive updates on the programme, and post-event video, email Alyssa Gilbert, Head of Policy and Translation, Grantham InstituteAjay Gambhir, Grantham Institute, Imperial College London; Prof Stefaan Simons, IChemE; Tom Jennings, The Carbon Trust; John Scowcroft, Global CCS Institute; Prof Brian Vad Mathiesen, IDA, Danish Society of Engineers; Beatriz Fernández Hernández, Future Climate Engineering Solutions
