Side Event 12GLOBAL AWARENESS FOR SUSTAINABLE FUTURE: PRIVATE SECTOR BEHAVIOUR WITHIN THE UN FRAMEWORK Partnering with the private sector is the foundation of any successful large-scale development strategy. The shared nature of the global development challenges we face today calls for collective action that is inspired and shaped by the challenges and opportunities of the next fifteen years. Building vibrant and systematic partnerships with the private sector is a vital prerequisite for the successful implementation of a transformative agenda to accelerate poverty reduction and sustainable development.Presentation - Singh Intrachooto Side Event 13CALIFORNIA CAP-AND-TRADE PROGRAM – RESULTS AND PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE In 2013, California launched the U.S.’s first economy-wide cap-and-trade program, which has recently been extended through 2030.

Presentation - ACR Side Event 14ACHIEVING THE PARIS AGREEMENT THROUGH A GREEN ECONOMY TRANSITION: FISCAL RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES Understanding the fiscal risks and opportunities of the transition to a green economy is an innovative area of research. The implications of this transition to a lower-carbon economy will include lower fiscal revenues from fossil fuels, either due to explicit carbon pricing or to lower prices for fossil fuels. In addition, there will potentially be new revenues from a green economy. Given that approximately 70% of fossil fuel reserves worldwide are owned or controlled by governments, these implications are particularly relevant for the value of fossil-fuel related assets, as well as for the fiscal position of governments.

To achieve this, economies need to find sustainable ways of generating energy. Renewable energies and energy efficiency are the two main pillars. The diffusion and sustainable use of these technologies require an improvement of quality infrastructures in these areas. The importance of quality infrastructure for the energy sector and the transformation towards sustainable energy consumption will be elaborated and discussed during this session. Side Event 16FROM EARLY MOVERS TO CRITICAL MASS: HOW TO BUILD A MARKET FOR CLIMATE TECHNOLOGIES The EBRD is presenting two of its most valuable programmes for implementing new technologies to address climate change: the Finance and Technology Transfer Center for Climate Change (FINTECC), and the Green Climate Fund (GCF)-EBRD Renewable Energy Financing Framework. FINTECC promotes the use of advanced technology by rewarding early movers in markets where there are major barriers to the deployment of innovative low-carbon technology. The programme’s success is based on a combination of capital investment grants, policy dialogue and technical assistance. Agenda Side Event 17CLEAN ENERGY INVESTMENT AND MARKET TRENDSThe IEA will present three clean energy market publications: World Energy Investment Report 2017, Energy Efficiency 2017 and Renewables 2017 to highlight the latest trends and developments in these clean energy sectors.
