“Long term strategies: How to achieve long-term transitions towards full decarbonisation – Key issues to implement the Paris agreement” – Side eventEU pavilion, Room Bratislava – November 11, 2016 – h. 3.00 p.m.  – 5.30 p.m.

Side event organized by the International Research Network for Low Carbon Societies (LCS-RNet)
Among the speakers: Antonio Navarra – President CMCC Foundation 

The international debate has shifted to the question of how to achieve low carbon societies. Especially the success of the Paris agreement opened up the gate to a path for transition towards complete decarbonisation involving society as a whole. On the way to a successful completion of this global task, the work and knowledge of the LCS-RNet become even more important.
Therefore, the challenge to promote more concrete and practical actions for long term target achievement has been taken up at this year’s Annual Meeting which addressed the topic “How to achieve long-term transitions towards full decarbonisation?” Its four sub themes reflect the key issues in this regard: a) to tackle any future anticipated non-linearities and disruptive interferences with decarbonisation policies, b) to match strategies for economic and wealth development with the global investment programme of energy transition, climate mitigation and adaptation, c) to align these strategies with the overall sustainable development goals and d) the increasingly important role science has to play in providing well-founded solutions and sound strategies for action. – READ MORE
