C2ES regularly convenes lead negotiators to discuss key issues in the international climate negotiations. In the two years leading up to COP21 in Paris, C2ES organized the Toward 2015 dialogue to discuss options for a new climate agreement.
International Climate Diplomacy and EngagementC2ES is working on a project to help shape the global stocktake (GST) process by ensuring a strong focus on opportunities to scale up climate ambition. The project aims for an ambitious and environmentally effective outcome from the GST at COP28 that leverages COP28 as a forcing event to drive needed real-world action; assists countries to implement existing climate commitments; and facilitates the raising the ambition of their next round of commitments.
The Global StocktakeLoss and damage is increasingly a reality around the world and a greater focus of attention in international climate diplomacy. C2ES is making this key issue a central part of our mission, working toward achieving an international consensus on this contentious issue – including through expert analysis, policy briefs, blogs, and convenings of key stakeholders – in a way that is effective to help the most climate vulnerable people around the world.
Loss and Damage
C2ES has supported efforts to ensure robust rules for implementing Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, which allows countries voluntarily cooperate with each other to achieve emission reduction targets set out in their NDCs. C2ES is also a member of the Executive Secretariat of the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market, which is establishing a threshold quality standard for carbon credits to ensure a high-integrity voluntary carbon market and drive climate finance at scale into emissions reduction and sustainable growth.
