Summary
The Global Agenda Council on Climate Change is working to develop recommendations for public and private actors to increase low-carbon investment and climate resilience. Its current activities include measuring vulnerability and showcasing successful climate-smart adaptation examples through a partnership with the UNFCCC's Momentum for Change Initiative. The Council intends to share findings in January in Davos to inform international events in 2014 and support negotiations for a new climate regime by 2015.
Key insights
- There is an increasing consensus among business and scientific communities that climate change has contributed to recent natural disasters, such as the 2003 European heat wave and droughts in East Africa in 2011 and 2012, leading to high economic, social, and human losses.
- The Global Agenda Council on Climate Change is pursuing two primary activities: identifying tools and principles for measuring vulnerability to build resilient societies, and evaluating the value proposition for businesses to invest in climate-smart adaptation.
- The Council has partnered with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) via the Momentum for Change Initiative to launch 'Innovative Financing for Climate-friendly Investment' to identify and scale successful investment examples for climate mitigation and adaptation.
