Climate Finance and Policy for Paris Agreement Implementation in Asia Pacific:
Leveraging Non-State Actor’s Role

Enhancing capacity of the developing country Parties for NDC Implementation in the context of Paris Agreement

Jakarta, 19 December 2018

Background

Significant progress on ratification of the Paris Agreement by Parties shows a high commitment among stakeholders, including leaders from countries, financial sector, industries, civil society are working together for a climate action agenda. The next COP 24, which will be hosted by Poland in December 2018, will be an important milestone for the Paris Agreement. The COP 24 will put together the pieces, directions and guidelines in order to make the framework really operate on ground. The Paris Agreement requires all Parties to put forward their best efforts through “nationally determined contributions” (NDCs) and to strengthen these efforts and enhance capacity in the years ahead. However realities and challenges are different from country to country, or even within national level.

In 2015 through COP 21 in Paris, the Parties emphasizing with serious concern the urgent need to address the significant gap between aggregate effect of Parties’ mitigation pledges aggregate emission pathways consistent with holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 20 degrees Celcius above pre-industrial level and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.50 C above pre-industrial level. The COP reminded that enhancing capacity is the main issue on facing climate change after more than two decades of global climate action. Climate finance and climate policy, as well as non-state actors are key aspects to address gaps and needs for NDC implementation in developing country Parties in the context of Paris Agreement.

Therefore this international conference is dedicated to enhance capacity of the developing country Parties through addressing climate finance and climate policy issues especially in Asia Pacific region, and also leveraging Non-State actor’s role on NDC implementation. The conference aims to provide a forum to share ideas and lesson learned among policy makers, business community, organizations and researchers from around the world, especially Asia Pacific countries on recent developments in various aspects of climate finance, climate policy, and Non-State actor’s role.
