This panel is part of Hertie Futures Forum, a high-ranking event series celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Hertie School.
As the world takes stock of progress towards the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement, the need to address the severe gaps in global greenhouse gas emissions reductions, adaptation to climate impacts, and addressing loss and damage is becoming ever more urgent. Strained trust between developing and developed states and shifting priorities amid geopolitical tensions exacerbate long-existing challenges. How can countries advance global mitigation, adaptation, and loss and damage support efforts in this challenging context? Innovative approaches are needed both within the UN climate framework, and in other multilateral settings.
The upcoming UN climate summit in Dubai (COP 28) presents a critical juncture. While agreement on a global fossil-fuel phaseout currently seems to be hard to achieve, a new global target for renewable energy is hoped to invigorate international decarbonisation dynamics. Negotiations on loss and damage remain challenging, but novel formats such as Just Energy Transition Partnerships (JETPs) may offer additional, complementary avenues to advance international cooperation.
Looking back at the development of the international climate regime to draw lessons for international climate policy strategy at COP 28 and beyond, Jennifer Morgan, State Secretary at the Foreign Federal office, and Germany’s Special Envoy for International Climate Action, Laurence Tubiana, CEO of the European Climate Foundation (ECF) and Ottmar Edenhofer, Director and Chief Economist at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and Director of the Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change, explore innovative approaches for fostering international climate policy cooperation. The panel will be moderated byChristian Flachsland, Professor of Climate Policy, Director of the Centre for Sustainability, Hertie School.
