Harvard Project Event:

Securing Climate Ambition with Cooperative Approaches: Options under Article 6

Wednesday, 10 November, 2021; 4:45 – 6:00 pm, Greenwich Mean Time
Location: Strangford Lough event room in the Clyde Auditorium (within the “Blue Zone” at the COP) 

This event — and all COP-26 official side events — will be livestreamed publicly over the UNFCCC’s YouTube side-event channel here

Article 6 of the Paris Agreement provides opportunities for national governments and the private sector to cooperate internationally to address climate change. In particular, it provides two modalities for international market-based mechanisms. At COP-26 in Glasgow in November, the Parties to the Paris Agreement will attempt (once again) to write the specific rules for implementing Article 6. Speakers in this event — all experts on Article 6 and market mechanisms more generally — will examine the potential of Article 6 — and its prospects at COP-26 and beyond.

Mr. Mehling’s presentation will be based in large part on a discussion paper he recently completed for the Harvard Project on Climate Agreements, which is available here. 

Speakers: Daniele Agostini, Head of Low Carbon and European Energy Policies, Enel; Kelley Kizzier, Vice President for Global Climate, Environmental Defense Fund; Michael Mehling, Deputy Director, Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Mandy Rambharos, General Manager for Just Energy Transition, Eskom Holdings (South Africa); Robert Stavins, Director, Harvard Project on Climate Agreements; government representatives to be invited.

Co-sponsors: Enel Foundation, Foundation Environment - Law Society (FURG)

A detailed look at China’s development of a hydrogen bomb in fewer than three years, quicker than all other initial nuclear weapons states.
'New Cold Wars' are “more complex, more dangerous than the old one, because China and Russia are teaming up together.”
While U.S. media reports blame Iran and its drone attacks for “pouring gasoline on a region that is already in flames,” there's a lot more to the story, and “most of it reflects poorly on the United States.”
