 SWITCH-­‐Asia  Programme  India  Networking  Event  

Agenda  for  Climate  Change  Session  

5th  November  2015  

The  LaLiT  Hotel,  Barakhamba  Avenue,  Connaught  Place,  New  Delhi  110  001,  India  

Co-­‐hosted  by  the  German  Development  Institute  (DIE),  The  Energy  and  Resources  Institute  (TERI)  and  Galvanizing  the  Groundswell  of  Climate  Actions  

 

As  governments  negotiate  a  new  climate  agreement  in  Paris  later  this  year,  a  multitude  of  actions  are  being  taken  by  non-­‐state  and  subnational  actors,  such  as  cities,  regions,  businesses  civil  society  and  investors,  to  bring  about  resilient  development  and  a  transformation  towards  a  low-­‐carbon  economy.  Yet,  most  non-­‐state  and  subnational  actions  seem  to  be  led  by  organizations  and  groups  based  in  the  global  North.  This  session  demonstrates  that  many  climate  actions,  in  fact,  emerge  in  the  global  South,  and  discusses  opportunities  and  challenges  for  these  actions  to  contribute  to  climate  resilient  and  low-­‐carbon  development.  

 

Presentation  session:  Galvanizing  action  for  climate  resilient  development  

SCP   practices   are   instrumental   not   only   for   climate   change  mitigation,   but   for   a   broader   approach  enabling   climate   resilient   development.   The   session   will   feature   expert   speakers   to   provide   an  overview  on  the  latest  findings  on  climate  change  in  Asia  and  how  climate  change  is  addressed  in  EU-­‐India  development   cooperation.   In  addition,   concrete  examples  will   be  provided  on  how  small   scale  low-­‐carbon  technologies  promoted  by  SWITCH-­‐Asia  projects  and  TERI’s  Lighting  A  Billion  Lives  initiative  benefit  local  communities,  mitigate  climate  change  and  promote  resilience.    

 

Panel  discussion:  Climate  change  action  by  businesses  through  SCP  

Climate  actions  undertaken  by  businesses  are  a  crucial  element  for  any  successful  mitigation  strategy.  The   panel   will   feature   representatives   from   experts   and   practitioners   cooperating   with   large  businesses   and   SWITCH-­‐Asia   projects  working  with   SMEs   to   discuss   how   large   companies   and   SMEs  can  cooperate  effectively  to  implement  SCP  practices,  green  supply  chains  and  advance  the  transition  to  a  low-­‐carbon  economy  in  Asia.  Furthermore,  the  role  of  non-­‐state  actors  in  technology  transfer  and  India’s  corporate  climate  action  in  view  of  the  upcoming  COP21  in  Paris  will  be  presented.
