Key Climate Agreements & Role of Governments & Policymakers

Description

"Key Climate Agreements & Guidance for Policymakers" is a short course that explores the role of the public sector in decarbonisation of the economy and transition to net zero.  Specifically we will look at the NDC implementation framework and tools and mechanisms available to the governments to drive energy transition and decarbonisation.

This course is designed to:

• provide the history of international negotiations on climate change and give a brief overview of key climate agreements, including the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement and the history of COP (conference of the parties) meetings;

• raise awareness about the role of governments in decarbonisation and energy transition;

• explain what countries' Net Zero commitments and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) mean in practice;

• discuss NDC implementation framework and provide examples of how it is addressed in some countries;

• explain concepts such as adaptation, mitigation, maladaptation, carbon pricing, circular economy and many more

*** The course has been updated with the information on the latest COP27 and the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) ***

You don’t need any prior knowledge of this subject, just an interest in government policy, climate negotiations and desire to learn about solutions to the formidable problem of climate change. However this course is best with its companion courses on Decarbonisation and Energy Transition (by sector).

At the end of the course, we will test your knowledge with the multiple-question quiz and provide you with the Handout Slides with the summary of main points from the course.

I hope you will enjoy this course and I am looking forward to your feedback and reviews.
