📄 A recently released discussion paper from TERI, "Financing Just Transition: Synergies between NCQG and JTWP" explores the critical need for aligning the #JustTransition Work Programme (JTWP) and the #NewCollectiveQuantifiedGoal (NCQG) on #climatefinance. Without structural synergy, these processes risk losing direction, undermining the Paris Agreement's implementation. A cohesive approach can ensure climate finance supports equitable opportunities, social safety nets, and a just transition to a low-carbon economy. 🖇 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞: teriin.org/policy-brief/f… #TERIatCOP29 #COP29 #Act4Earth #ClimateAction #NCQG #NetZero #SustainableFuture #ParisAgreement #EnergyTransition #CarbonNeutrality

📢 #HappeningTomorrow! TERI along with other partners including @ElevateClimate, @IIASAVienna, @nlenvironagency and @dgapev is organising the official side event, “Holistic approach to climate-resilient, just development: Translating evident into action” 📅 18 November, 2024 🕒 15:00 - 16:30 AZT 📍 SE-3, Blue Zone, COP29 The event underscores the urgency of developing equitable and just #climatestrategies, integrating robust scientific assessments with justice-focused policies. It highlights a model-based assessment quantifying financial needs for #mitigation, #adaptation, and #lossanddamage, prioritizing vulnerable populations and addressing historical injustices. Achieving these goals demands strong political will, international cooperation, inclusive decision-making, and continuous monitoring to ensure effective and equitable resource allocation.

TERI and UCAR (@UCAR_News) organized a side event ‘Global Risk Resilience Discourse and Adaptation’ at COP29 in Baku today. The event brought together scientists and policy makers to reflect on the adequacy of the scope and strategies that have emerged from the negotiation process and explore the ways in which the Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) can be truly global in its ambition. The event began with Ms Suruchi Bhadwal (@SuruchiBhadwal), Director, TERI and Dr Ronnie Abolafia-Rosenzweig, Scientist, NSF NCAR (@NCAR_Science) delivering framing presentations. While Dr Abolafia-Rosenzweig focused on intersections between #climatescience and climate adaptation, Ms Bhadwal argued for expanding the scope of the #GGA by bringing in global drivers of national adaptive capacities within its purview. A discussion paper 'A Transformative Global Goal on Adaptation: Scope, Science, and Policy' with contributions from Ms Bhadwal, Dr Manish Kumar Shrivastava (@manishipta) of TERI, and Dr Abolafia-Rosenzweig, Dr Christine A. Shields (@catswx), and Dr Mari Tye of UCAR was also launched at the event. This was followed by a panel discussion on ‘Science-Policy Interaction at Scale for Transformative Global Goal on Adaptation’. The panel discussion was moderated byMs Bernadette Woods Placky (@BernWoodsPlacky), Vice President and Chief Meteorologist, Climate Central, and Mr RR Rashmi, Distinguished Fellow, TERI. Mr Anand Patwardhan (@patwardhan_a), Professor, University of Maryland, School of Public Policy (@UMDPublicPolicy) said, “I'd like to kind of flag three opportunities that I see for the GGA to play a more transformative role for adaptation. If you look at the UNEP emissions gap report, we are looking at a likely temperature range of 2.53 degrees. Which raises the question of what is it that we are adapting to? What this means is that adaptation planning needs to consider the full range of plausible climate scenarios. "And this has really major implications, particularly for finance, because finance for adaptation is likely to scale considerably based on the needs. “Which brings me to my second point, which is about means of implementation. And then finally, while much adaptation is indeed local or national, we will need collective action, including global collective action,” he said. Mr Abolafia-Rosenzweig felt, “In order for the information to be useful for decision making at the local level, there has to be the data and the information products that people can understand, that they can use and they can implement. “And at the same time, there needs to be information about specific, specific concerns and challenges of the communities facing climate change on the front lines so that scientists can provide that information and appropriate technologies.” Stressing on the need to connect science with the communities, Ms Laura Schmitt Olabisi, (@Lkshumaine), Professor, Michigan State University said, “In my view, especially working, as I have been in West Africa for the last several years, there are many parts of the world where those connections are just not there for a number of reasons. The capacity is just not there for that communication between science at the national or even the state level and the communities. So that's a real gap and it is often felt in the most vulnerable regions.” Ms Bhadwal said, “#Adaptation is not necessarily a local issue. Adaptive capacities of countries are also embedded in the global #economicsystems, particularly the financial markets and trade patterns. For the Global Goal on Adaptation to be truly meaningful, in the spirit of the principle of equity and common but differentiated responsibility, it is necessary that the global systems related to finance, trade, IPR, #foodsecurity, #healthsecurity, etc. also become part of the GGA agenda.” Ms Ilke Geleyn, Programme Manager at G-STIC (@GSTICseries), said, “Breaking down silos between policy makers and scientific community at national and global level is absolutely critical. Equally important is the peer learning among scientists. Multistakeholder engagements are key to developing scientifically robust metrics for adaptation across scales of governance." Mr Misael Sebastián Gradilla-Hernández, School of Engineering and Sciences of the Tecnológico de Monterrey, Mexico (@UNAM_MX) , emphasized, “Some of the challenges that we really face every day are that scientists are really not leaving the labs and checking what their real needs are. At the same time, communities possess a deep understanding of their local environment." Ms Poloumi Banerjee, Vice President, IB Group (@ibgroup_india) noted, “For private sector, climate adaptation manifests in two ways. First their own operations, and second their responsibility towards #communities in bringing better adaptation strategies. “For a profit-oriented organization, resilience and stability of systems is necessary. Private sector is not yet providing resources for adaptation oriented research. There is a huge gap in adaptation finance.” #TERIatCOP29 #climatechange #reslience #ClimateFinance #COP29Baku
