2 6 November Facilitative dialogue options for outputs and outcomes and questions on modalitites 15:45 16 : facilitative dialogue Fijian Pavilion, Bonn zone The upcoming 2018 facilitative dialogue (FD2018) provides an opportunity to take stock of collective progress towards the long-term goal referred to in Article 4.1 of the Paris Agreement, and to inform nationally determined contributions. The FD2018 could also be useful in disseminating mitigation responses and inspiring policymakers to scale up climate action. The COP 22 and 23 Presidencies have been consulting with Parties and have recently reported on the preparations of the dialogue. The OECD/IEA Climate Change Expert Group (CCXG) has identified possible options for the organisation of this dialogue and their associated implications. This side event explores ideas for the inputs, outputs, outcomes and modalities of the FD2018 and their implications. OECD/IEA event with Jane Ellis, Manasvini Vaidyula The interaction of global climate change policies and air pollution 16:00 17:30 Climate and air pollution EU Pavilion This event explores how policies can tackle multiple sustainable development goals, in particular SDGs 'Climate Change' and 'Good Health and Well-being'. Global air quality co-benefits can fully and instantly compensate the possible economic costs associated with a shift towards a low-carbon economy. organised by EC JRC with Elisa Lanzi 7 November Integrated air pollution and climate policies in Asia 10:30 12:00 Climate and air pollution Japan Pavilion, Bonn zone Integrated solutions to air pollution and climate change have the potential to solve two of Asia s most intractable problems. There is considerable scope for policymakers to regularly bring together climate change and air pollution into a single set of decisions. This raises the question that will be discussed in this session: what will take to make integrated approaches to air pollution and climate change mainstream in Asia? organised by IGES with Elisa Lanzi 8 November Aid for Adaptation: Assessing Effectiveness 13:00 14:30 Japan Pavillion, Bonn zone OECD event co-organised with JICA with Liwayway Adkins, Eric Williams, Özlem Taskin Adaptation,

3 Presentations at COP23 Key results of the German G20 Presidency and the way forward to Argentina in :30 18:30 German Pavillon, Bonn zone with Gabriela Ramos, OECD Chief of Staff, G20 Sherpa and Special Counsellor to the Secretary-General Enhancing transparency of climate finance reporting under the Paris Agreement 17:30 19:00 Transparency of climate finance EU Pavillion, Bonn zone The enhanced transparency framework envisaged in the Paris Agreement will build on, enhance and eventually supersede the existing measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) system established under the Cancún Agreements. This side event will explore what building on and enhancing might mean for the reporting of information on climate finance. It will focus on both finance mobilised and received, highlighting challenges faced by Parties reporting information in these areas to date and implications for the Paris Agreement s forthcoming modalities, procedures and guidelines (MPGs). OECD/IEA event with Jane Ellis, Justine Garrett 9 November Co-ordinating Carbon Pricing Policies 10:00 11:30 German Pavilion, Bonn zone with Simon Buckle Achieving the Paris Agreement through a Green Economy Transition: Fiscal risks and opportunities 12:30 14:00 IETA Pavilion, World Conference Centre The aim of this side event is to set out the main fiscal risks and opportunities from a green economy transition to major fossil fuel exporters. The EBRD will share its emerging views with a distinguished set of speakers from both the public and private sectors, including Dr Simon Buckle, Head of Climate, Biodiversity and Water Division at the OECD, who will talk about the transition to a green economy and its implications for the role of gas. organised by EBRD with Simon Buckle G20 Carbon pricing and fiscal policy 14:30 16:00 German Pavilion, Bonn zone organised by Green Fiscal Policy Network with Ronald Steenblik Fossil-fuel subsidies

4 10 November Shared Mobility for Climate Mitigation: Innovation and Big Data 11:30 13:00 Transport Meeting Room 4, Bonn zone The digitalisation of urban transport has accelerated in recent years, just as when many new technologies have been introduced and users started adopting new behaviours. The arrival of shared mobility services, electrification and automation can achieve low carbon transport. organised by ITF/ITDB with Wei-Shiuen Ng Urban Water Reslience 15:00 16:30 Meeting Room 2 organised by SIWI and partners with Aziza Akhmouch Water Action Day Achieving Paris Climate Commitments at the National Level 1 -- Developing Project Pipelines: Emerging Good Practice 16:00 17:30 Green finance and investment IETA BusinessHub Pavillion, Bonn zone The significant investment volume required to meet NDCs and Paris Agreement objectives necessitates the accelerated development of the green infrastructure projects pipeline at national and sub-national level. There is capital looking for these types of assets so this is an opportunity as well as a challenge and this is the focus of a forthcoming OECD report. This panel brings together practitioners and analysts to examine this topic from an investment perspective; the focus will be on emerging markets. Organised by the OECD with Rodney Boyd Mainstreaming climate disclosure in OECD and emerging economies (title tbc) 17:00 18:30 Climate disclosure Japan Pavilion, Bonn zone This session will discuss increasing demand for disclosure of climate related risks and strategies by companies and investors. It will highlight innovative policies to promote disclosure as well as good practices and concrete actions from non-state actors such as corporations, pension funds and asset managers to mainstream climate disclosure and integrate other environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in business strategies of corporations and institutional investors. It will discuss key challenges and opportunities for encouraging scenario analysis, and aligning business strategies or portfolios with a 2-degree scenario. It will also highlight good practices from Japan and other countries. It will build on relevant OECD work, as well as the recommendations of the FSB Task Force on Climate- Related Financial Disclosures and the EU High-Level Expert Group on Sustainable. OECD-IGES Joint side event with Cristina Tebar-Less

5 Presentations at COP23 Achieving Paris Climate Commitments at the National Level 2 -- Creating Dedicated Local Climate Investment Capacity through Green Banks 17:30 19:00 Green finance and investment IETA BusinessHub Pavillion, Bonn zone Implementing the goals defined in the Paris agreement will require dedicated local capacity and nationspecific implementation to drive investment and financial innovation. Existing climate investment pledges fall short of what is needed. This session explores how national Green Banks structured as new purposebuilt institutions or as adaptations of existing institutions can be formed to address critical market gaps and drive public and private climate investment to bring these new markets to scale. Building off the preceding discussion of building green infrastructure pipelines, speakers will address the role of Green Banks in creating climate-specific investment capacity, to be followed by discussion with session participants. co-organised by the OECD, the Coalition for Green Capital, and the Rocky Mountain Institute with Rob Youngman 11 November IDFC Climate Forum Whole day Hilton Hotel, Frankfurt, Germany How to align today's decisions and actions with long term impacts from the perspective of both financial institutions and decision makers and planners in cities and communities? Today's decisions have impacts in the long run. While there is urgency to act by financing and implementing the NDCs, ensuring that the decisions we take today are compatible with and can lead to the longer term climate mitigation and adaptation objectives proves absolutely crucial. organised by IDFC with Anthony Cox, Nicolina Lamhauge, Naeeda Crishna Morgado, Haje Schutte Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action (MPGCA) International Transport Day Whole day Transport Meeting Room 8, Bonn zone 10:00-11:00 Opening Session: Setting the Scene and Achieving Future Goals The Opening Session will set the context for Transport Thematic Day and will focus on the need to scale up action and ambition on transport and climate change. This session will highlight the critical roles both State and non-state actors play across regions. 11:30-12:45 Policy Making and Target Setting for the Transport Sector With a projection of growing transport demand, the goals of the Paris Agreement cannot be reached without significant reductions in transport emissions. Setting emission reduction targets is the first step to a decarbonising transport development pathway.

6 13:45-15:00 Shifting Personal Mobility through Innovations in Transport Technologies, Systems and Integrated Planning The reduction of carbon emissions in urban transport requires a mix of policies and measures that will target changes in both technologies and mobility patterns. Recent trends across the world have shown that travel behaviour could be shifted to depend less on personal mobility through innovations in technology, urban planning, public transport services, and sustainable transport systems. Meeting Room 6, Bonn zone 15:00-16:15 Reducing Maritime Transport GHG Emissions: Decarbonising Supply Chains This event will provide an overview of efforts to reduce international and domestic maritime transport emissions. Industry experts will show how maritime transport can contribute to the overall GHG reduction effort and decarbonise supply chains. organised by ITF/PPMC/UITP/UIC with Mary Crass, Olaf Merk, Young Tae Kim, Wei-Shiuen Ng Role and Experiences of Green Investment Banks in Combatting Climate Change 13:30-15:30 Turkey Pavilion, Bonn Zone The problem of climate change is huge, the time and resources required to ensure a substantial change to limit the global temperature increase at degrees are limited. Both the international community and national governments are striving to find and inject more resources to enable key actors towards undertaking the necessary actions. Green Investment Banks work to leverage these limited sources using innovative transaction structures, risk-reduction and transaction-enabling techniques, and local and market expertise to channel private investment, including from institutional investors, into domestic low-carbon, climate-resilient infrastructure (OECD, 2015). Green bonds also have gained remarkable attention globally to increase financial support for the clean energy investments. The objective of the session is to shed light upon different models of Green Investment Banks and experience with the green bonds from different countries to inspire and inform the audience about leveraging climate finance for low carbon investments. organised by Partnership for Market Readiness (PMR) Turkey Project which is executed by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanisation of Turkey and financed by the World Bank with Robert Youngman Enhanced Transparency Framework for Climate Actions 16:30-17:45 WWF Pavilion organised by CEEW-CIGI-Brown University with Jane Ellis Transparency

7 Presentations at COP23 COP 23 UN System 16:45-18:15 Bonn zone The event will use the newly-launched Global Mobility Report (GMR) as the backdrop for a high-level discussion on how we can achieve the four global goals that define sustainable mobility (universal access, efficiency, safety and green mobility). The outcome of this Panel discussion will feed into the global roadmap of actions to achieving sustainable mobility, currently under preparation by the Sustainable Mobility for All (SuM4AII) initiative. Joint Side Event on Transport organised by UNDESA World Bank Group with Young Tae Kim OECD-IDFC Roundtable on development banks and DFIs 17:00 18:00 Hilton Hotel, Frankfurt, Germany The changing role of development banks and development finance institutions in scaling up green investment in developing countries organised by OECD in the margins of IDFC Climate Forum with Naeeda Crishna Morgado, Jens Sedemund Clean Energy Investment 18:00 19:30 EU Pavilion, Bonn zone organised jointly the OECD and the Danish Energy Agency Clean Energy Investment 12 November Climate Summit of Local and Regional Leaders 9:45 17:30 Collaborative climate action Meeting Room 8, Bonn zone Local and regional governments are strengthening their resolve to curb climate change and prepare for its effects.
