Agenda & List of Participants Land Economy for Sustainability Dialogue Series Rethinking the Land Economy: Keeping 1.5C in Sight 0900- 0930 Welcome and introduction This session will welcome participants and introduce the goals and objectives of this meeting, designed as a collective thinking session to explore opportunities for emissions reduction from the land-based sectors. It will consider the case for a shared strategy that complements technical know- how in tackling challenges associated with the political economy of structural transformation for the land economy. It will also discuss what constitutes success by 2020 and 2030. 0930 – 1100 Session 1: Setting the baseline Key questions to be addressed: • What is the scale of the challenge? • What do we understand in terms of feasibility of different options? • What are the complexities and barriers? This session will open with three short presentations • Land-based emissions reductions and the 1.5C challenge • Competition for land, food and water: implications of current trends • Obstacles and trade-offs The presentations will be followed by a facilitated discussion on the knowledge gaps and the known unknowns, as well as known barriers. 1120 – 1300 Mapping key opportunities and no-regret options This session will discuss existing and new opportunities for scaling land- based emissions reductions, based not only on mitigation potential but also wider social and environmental considerations including risks and co- benefits. It will begin with short remarks on the following ‘wedges’: • sustainable agricultural practice; • negative emissions; • waste and losses; • demand side interventions including sustainable and healthy diets and behavioural shifts. The discussion will focus on identifying a set of no-regret options that could be scaled immediately. Participants will be divided into groups to identify these no-regret options, with an emphasis on measures that could bring c0- benefits in real or political terms. 1400 – 1600 Preparing for disruptive change from 2030 This session will start with a facilitated discussion on the pre-conditions for positive disruptive changes in the land-based sectors. • What is needed today (e.g. evidence, knowledge, strategy, policy, investment, etc.) to prepare for positive disruptions? • What are the key institutional, governance and regulatory barriers that could be overcome by 2030? • What are the trade-offs that would need to be resolved in the coming decade? • How to create a safe space to discuss and/or to resolve anticipated conflicts and controversies? • What are the critical levers: policy, money and supply chain drivers, technological change, mobilisation? 1615 – 1700 Conclusions and next steps Confirmed Participants Justin Adams The Nature Conservancy Global Managing Director, Lands Research Director – Energy, Rob Bailey Chatham House Environment and Resources Tim Benton Chatham House Distinguished Visiting Fellow Kris De Meyer King’s College London Visiting Research Fellow Chris Elliott Climate and Land Use Alliance Executive Director Antony Froggatt Chatham House Senior Research Fellow Food Climate Research Network Tara Garnett Founder and Director (FCRN) V.
