CLI Events at COP25

01.01.2020 - Climate Ledger Initiative

Despite the late change in location, CLI is pleased to host a number of COP25 events and we are very proud that the CLI events have received the official endorsement of the Chile COP presidency:

Principles and case studies for disruptive technologies and 1.5°-compliant system transformation

Emerging technologies have given the world unprecedented potential to address humanity’s most pressing challenges. In this side event, the Climate Ledger Initiative (CLI) assesses the landscape of blockchain and emerging digital technologies to identify those most effective for operationalizing policy instruments of the Paris Agreement and accelerating progress to meet the 1.5 degree temperature limit. CLI launches the second edition of the Navigating Blockchain for Climate Action report, featuring progress from use cases including recommendations for further exploration, implementation, and scaling up.

Climate-KIC will then address practical approaches for whole system transformation initiatives through connected portfolio-based interventions. Looking at how to deliberately design for change in high complexity environments to ensure solutions are maximized towards impact and do not result in long-term problems.

  • Wednesday 4 Dec 10:30 – 12:00 / Hosted by the Climate Ledger Initiative jointly with EIT Climate-KIC /  EU Pavilion / Room Brussels

Connecting the dots – Interactive sprints on digitalization & blockchain, climate action and education

This workshop addresses several topics relevant to the overall architecture of the Paris Agreement and where blockchain and other innovative technologies will help accelerate climate action, eg, registries, digitizing MRV, renewable energy, and climate finance. The aim is to bring actors with diverse backgrounds together at COP, exchange learnings and build capacity to identify benefits and risks at the intersection of digitalization and climate action in order to support Paris Agreement implementation.

A meaningful debate on digitalization and climate action based on field experiences will be facilitated through an interactive World Café setting. Small moderated roundtable discussions will allow participants to dive deeply into topics of their interest and expertise. The workshop will also initiate a process to share knowledge and exchange experience beyond COP 25. All conclusions and reflections of this session will be made publicly available.
