Implementing the Paris Agreement: Remaining Challenges and the Role of the OECD 2 │ Key Messages The scale and pace of climate change is rapidly moving the natural systems that underpin human well-being into uncharted territory, with the potential for severe and irreversible impacts. Climate change will destroy human and physical capital, and drive major changes to ecosystems. Strong climate action is not a threat to, but rather the foundation of, future economic well-being. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in one part of the world affect the climate globally, so any effective response must be multilateral in nature. The Paris Agreement is an international legal instrument with the potential to measure up to the scale and urgency of the climate challenge. However, governments must overcome significant challenges if its potential is to be met. In aggregate, action and commitments on GHG emissions are inadequate to limit the average global surface temperature increase to the Paris goal of well-below 2°C, let alone 1.5°C. Efforts must be scaled up and accelerated to peak global GHG emissions as soon as possible, with rapid reductions thereafter towards zero or negative emissions in the second half of the century. Ambitious domestic action needs to go hand in hand with an increase in the amount and effectiveness of international climate finance and other support for developing countries, in line with international commitments. Since climate impacts are already occurring and may be severe even if the Paris goals are achieved, major efforts are required now to enhance resilience and adaptive capacity. Holistic planning and coordination across ministries is needed to improve policy coherence across climate change mitigation and adaptation, food security and biodiversity conservation. Governments alone cannot solve climate change. Success will depend on the transformational actions of many other organisations, institutions and individuals, including businesses, financial institutions and regulators, cities, social and labour organisations, researchers and innovators. Governments need to enable and support these efforts by sending a clear policy signal that the transition to low-emissions climate-resilient development pathways is irreversible. Governments can send a powerful signal by pricing the harmful external effects of GHG emissions more coherently across all sectors of their economies, including agriculture and land- use, and at a higher level. Inefficient fossil fuel subsidies also need to be phased out. The OECD has a vital role to play in supporting countries to make these transformational changes over the coming decades. In particular, the OECD will: o Support countries to develop low-emissions, climate-resilient pathways that take a whole-economy approach, reflect country characteristics and effectively integrate social and distributional considerations. o Inform, accelerate and track efforts to make finance flows consistent with the goals of the Paris Agreement. Relevant initiatives include the Centre on Green Finance and Investment, the Paris Collaborative on Green Budgeting, the Research Collaborative on Tracking Private Climate Finance and the OECD-DAC statistical system. IMPLEMENTING THE PARIS AGREEMENT: REMAINING CHALLENGES AND THE ROLE OF THE OECD For Official Use │ 3 o Assist governments in their efforts to develop measures of effective carbon rates and to reform fossil fuel subsidies. o Provide policy analysis to inform countries on how to manage the climate, land-use, ecosystems, and food nexus (i.e. Sustainable Development Goals 2, 7, 11, 13, and 15). IMPLEMENTING THE PARIS AGREEMENT: REMAINING CHALLENGES AND THE ROLE OF THE OECD For Official Use 4 │ 1. Climate change: a global challenge requiring bold, collective action 1. The scale and pace of climate change is rapidly moving the natural systems that underpin human well-being into uncharted territory, with the potential for severe and irreversible impacts. This will make it more difficult to achieve the Sustainable 1 Development Goals (SDGs). Global atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) have surpassed 400 parts per million (ppm) from a pre-industrial level of around 280 ppm. This concentration is higher than at any time in the last 800,000 years. Global mean temperatures are a product of a long-term warming trend due to emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and climate variability at different timescales (Figure 1.1). Temperatures reached 1°C above pre-industrial levels in 2015 as a result of both climate change and a strong El Niño that continued into 2016. Projections of end-of-century average global surface temperature are between 2.6°C and 3.1°C above pre-industrial levels, based on commitments in current nationally determined contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement.2 Without rapid and significant acceleration of mitigation action, the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting average global warming to well below 2°C, let alone the 1.5°C goal, will remain well out of reach.3 2. Climate change will destroy human and physical capital and exacerbate existing pressures on biodiversity, driving major and potentially irreversible changes to ecosystems. How these changes translate into economic terms depends on complex and unpredictable interactions between climate, ecological, economic and social systems, including infrastructure networks.4 Climate change is therefore a risk management problem: how to find and implement the most cost-effective ways to limit climate risks to a politically agreed level, informed by the best scientific evidence. Early and ambitious action on adaptation and mitigation can significantly reduce these risks. For example, limiting the global average surface temperature increase to 2°C relative to even a 3°C scenario could bring significant benefits in terms of avoided flooding, heatwaves and cropland decline. 5 1 This paper draws extensively on OECD (2017), Investing in Climate, Investing in Growth, OECD Publishing, Paris http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/9789264273528-en, which was subject to extensive Committee consultation in 2017 (with twenty OECD Committees and Working Parties).

IMPLEMENTING THE PARIS AGREEMENT: REMAINING CHALLENGES AND THE ROLE OF THE OECD For Official Use │ 5 3. Even the “well-below 2°C” goal is insufficient to avoid major impacts from climate change.6 A certain amount of climate change is already locked in from past and current emissions and the extent to which countries succeed in further mitigating climate change will affect the scale of climate impacts they face. Some types of extreme weather events are projected to become more severe and frequent, especially those related to extreme heat, even if international climate goals are met.7 Floods, droughts and wildfires are also projected to increase. Rising seas will exacerbate coastal flooding, inundate low- lying land and lead to salinization of water supplies in some areas, while ocean acidification will continue to drive coral mortality, with severe implications for fisheries, tourism and coastal erosion.8 Food insecurity will likely also worsen.9 Concerted action is required to build climate resilience to reduce the harm caused by climate change.

  • Current Status of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement: Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (Itmos)
    COMMENTARY Current Status of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement: Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs) Joachim Roth Daniella Echeverría Philip Gass *With contributions from Katie Sullivan and Stefano de Clara from the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA) December 2019 Overview Internationally transferred mitigation outcomes (ITMOs) use a carbon dioxide equivalent [CO2e] metric for a new set of market provisions or other greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation outcomes that are defined underArticle 6 of the Paris Agreement. Set to come into effect as of 2020, they are meant to replace other existing forms of international carbon credits such as those issued under the Kyoto-era Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and Joint Implementation (JI). ITMOs are not specifically defined yet and could take many forms, including through linking emission trading systems (ETSs) across jurisdictions, investment in emission reduction projects, technology transfers and even credits from REDD+ schemes. Article 6 could therefore be a useful way to channel technology, finance and capacity building from developed to developing countries. Some argue that it could support reaching the USD 100 billion climate finance commitment per year, though some countries oppose this approach. There are two main avenues to how countries can cooperate using ITMOs as defined under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement: • Article 6.2: Countries can participate in international carbon markets by trading ITMOs through a decentralized cooperative approach. • Article 6.4: Countries can participate in a mechanism governed by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). IISD.org 1 Article 6 as a Departure From the CDM and JI Under Article 6.2, ITMOs differ from previous offset schemes, as they count toward countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), support overall mitigation in global emissions (for Article 6.4) and involve more substantial government participation than under the CDM.

  • Climate Change Guidelines for Forest Managers for Forest Managers
    0.62cm spine for 124 pg on 90g ecological paper ISSN 0258-6150 FAO 172 FORESTRY 172 PAPER FAO FORESTRY PAPER 172 Climate change guidelines Climate change guidelines for forest managers for forest managers The effects of climate change and climate variability on forest ecosystems are evident around the world and Climate change guidelines for forest managers further impacts are unavoidable, at least in the short to medium term. Addressing the challenges posed by climate change will require adjustments to forest policies, management plans and practices. These guidelines have been prepared to assist forest managers to better assess and respond to climate change challenges and opportunities at the forest management unit level. The actions they propose are relevant to all kinds of forest managers – such as individual forest owners, private forest enterprises, public-sector agencies, indigenous groups and community forest organizations. They are applicable in all forest types and regions and for all management objectives. Forest managers will find guidance on the issues they should consider in assessing climate change vulnerability, risk and mitigation options, and a set of actions they can undertake to help adapt to and mitigate climate change. Forest managers will also find advice on the additional monitoring and evaluation they may need to undertake in their forests in the face of climate change. This document complements a set of guidelines prepared by FAO in 2010 to support policy-makers in integrating climate change concerns into new or

  • Paris Treaty Is Best Even with USA As a Non-Party: but the USA Has No Ratification Dilemma
    Paris Treaty Is Best Even with USA as a non-Party: But the USA Has No Ratification Dilemma Kyle Ash Greenpeace USA 10 December 2014 The US Senate does not need to ratify a Paris climate treaty, contrary to popular understanding. This argument, however, provides the foundation for President Obama administration's claim that making mitigation commitments legally binding in the 2015 Paris climate agreement is not just unnecessary but harmful to the outcome. They claim that legal bindingness undermines ambition. This paper provides an alternative to the US delegation perspective as they describe it. A treaty – new obligations contained in a legally-binding agreement – is better for the United States and the international community as a whole. Furthermore, a new climate treaty in Paris can include US participation even if President Obama refuses to sign. Contents: • Why Legally Binding Is Better ◦ Competing Policies and Political Priorities ◦ From Treaty to Domestic Policy ◦ Legitimacy in Domestic and International Law • No US Legal Obstacle to Signature and Ratification • US Could Participate in Paris Treaty as a non-Party I. Why Legally Binding Is Better Legally binding terms, more than voluntary pledges, will compel national leaders to act on climate. But also, the act of agreeing to legally binding commitments will itself be a positive, internationally reinforcing signal that they already feel so compelled. Leaders unwilling to give climate policy the weight of law, in very simple terms, do not want to commit. There are several reasons why it will be better to have a comprehensive treaty that includes mitigation targets, but the first and foremost is that legal commitments will make governments feel more compelled to act than they do now – legally binding obligations will induce ambition over time.

  • Hedging Climate Risk Mats Andersson, Patrick Bolton, and Frédéric Samama
    AHEAD OF PRINT Financial Analysts Journal Volume 72 · Number 3 ©2016 CFA Institute PERSPECTIVES Hedging Climate Risk Mats Andersson, Patrick Bolton, and Frédéric Samama We present a simple dynamic investment strategy that allows long-term passive investors to hedge climate risk without sacrificing financial returns. We illustrate how the tracking error can be virtually eliminated even for a low-carbon index with 50% less carbon footprint than its benchmark. By investing in such a decarbonized index, investors in effect are holding a “free option on carbon.” As long as climate change mitigation actions are pending, the low-carbon index obtains the same return as the benchmark index; but once carbon dioxide emissions are priced, or expected to be priced, the low-carbon index should start to outperform the benchmark. hether or not one agrees with the scientific the climate change debate is not yet fully settled and consensus on climate change, both climate that climate change mitigation may not require urgent Wrisk and climate change mitigation policy attention. The third consideration is that although the risk are worth hedging.

  • International Aviation and the Paris Agreement Temperature Goals
    December 2018 International aviation and the Paris Agreement temperature goals David S. Lee Manchester Metropolitan University, Faculty of Science and Engineering, School of Science and the Environment, John Dalton Building, Chester Street, Manchester M1 5GD. Disclaimer: this report was commissioned by the Department for Transport (DfT), the findings and recommendations are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the views of the DfT. The information or guidance in this document (including third party information, products and services) is provided by DfT on an 'as is' basis, without any representation or endorsement made and without warranty of any kind whether express or implied. Summary Long-term goals for carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from total and international global aviation are considered here in the context of the Paris Agreement, which sets out a goal to hold increases in global mean surface temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels by 2100 and to pursue efforts to limit this increase to 1.5°C. In order to put this into practice, a scientifically-based ‘cumulative carbon budget’ approach is being taken, whereby the cumulative anthropogenic CO2 released scales with the global mean surface temperature response, as shown by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and others. For the Paris Agreement’s goals to be met, large reductions in global greenhouse gas emissions are required. International aviation emissions of CO2 (~65% of the current total from aviation) fall to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), whereas domestic emissions (~35% of the current total from aviation) come under states’ Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).
