That is efficient and powerful when all its components are in place and our common responsibility. when the right wind conditions are there to keep the blades rotating. While the private sector must continue their innovative work and scale up green production, governments must create the framework conditions for a green transition.

Participants, on an invitation-only basis, are provided with the opportunity to engage in concrete and in-depth discussions around best practice initiatives and policy issues that can help accelerate green growth. In addi- tion, The Forum will act as an interactive platform to develop ideas and opportunities for joint action and en- able strategic and practical learning across sectors, countries and projects at a national and international level. The aim is to deliver a series of actionable insights and initiatives that will inform and progress policy. The Forum consists of three interacting levels: parallel strategy sessions, parallel panels and plenaries. Strategy sessions will facilitate in-depth discussions and learning in smaller groups with a focus on action- able outcomes. Key practical insights from the parallel strategy sessions will feed into the broader strategic discussions during the panels and plenaries to ensure that overarching policy debates are informed by hands- on knowledge and experience with regard to the barriers, opportunities and solutions for advancing green growth initiatives. PROGRAMME FORMAT Parallel strategy sessions - A selected set of concrete or emerging public-private initiatives lie at the heart of the 3GF programme. The strategy sessions on 11 October 2011 will focus on a wide range of energy, transport and finance projects that dominate today’s green growth agenda. On 12 October 2011, thematically cross-cutting initiatives on public procurement and water will be featured in two parallel sessions. Some of these initiatives have existed for years; others are just emerging. Either way, the aim is to accelerate green growth by addressing the issues of scale and pace, and collectively identifying the potential barriers and op- portunities. Parallel panels - Four parallel panels on energy, transport, finance and trade / international markets will link the specific initiatives discussed during strategy sessions to more general debates and strategizing around policy, finance and regulation. Plenary sessions - Four plenary sessions will cast a broader view and offer insights from both the panel sessions and the strategy sessions during the Forum. The four sessions will address: 1. Building an Enabling Environment to Catalyze Green Growth; 2. National Action on Green Growth; 3. International Action on Green Growth; and 4. Catalyzing Ambitious Green Growth: An Agenda for Collaborative Action. OUTCOME The Chairman’s summary will conclude the Forum, and serve as a basis along with more specific recommen- dations from individual strategy sessions in subsequent high-level political processes and forums. Denmark and its governmental 3GF partners will feed key outcomes and conclusions into high-level intergovernmental processes, negotiations and forums. As upcoming EU president, Denmark will take recommendations from 3GF to Rio+20 and to the EU’s green growth agenda. In addition, Korea and Mexico, as strategic partners, will help link outcomes to the G20. The Forum will present and promote key recommendations at the UNFCCC COP17 in Durban, late in 2011, and at adjoining events, such as the World Climate Summit 2011. 3GF is coordinating with the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) and the World Economic Forum to strengthen public-private collaboration on clean energy as an important component of green growth. Selected outcomes and recommendations from the 3GF sessions will flow into the third meeting of the CEM in London in April 2012, as well as its related initiatives, which will in turn help to inform the strategic focus of 3GF 2012. See message from US Secretary of Energy, Dr. Steven Chu. Key recommendations and outcomes from 3GF, along with a profile of featured public-private partnerships, will be communicated in a post 3GF 2011 Report. Media policy: Unless otherwise stated, all discussions take place under the Chatham House rule. Facilities for press meetings are available upon request. After the Forum, a press conference will sum up key points. 5 PROGRAMME 11 October 2011 Master of Ceremony: Aimée Christensen / Partner / World Climate Ltd / CEO / Christensen Global Strategies 08:00 REGISTRATION, COFFEE (Moltkes Palæ) 09:00 Opening Plenary Session - open to the press H.R.H.
