2 1/A GROWING MOBILIZATION Main messages Two months before the COP, state and non-state actors, through cooperative initiatives, are responding to the call for an action-oriented COP: Cooperative initiatives : climate-action initiatives are gathering new members and setting for themselves high targets. The LPAA partners have seen and assessed more than 100 initiatives. Companies are taking new commitments in the run up to the COP and using more and more the NAZCA platform to showcase them. Subnationals have seen growing mobilization throughout the year, with several political sequences, enlargement of the scope of their platforms, and new work on the support side. Civil society organizations are also part of the dynamic and active in a large number of initiatives This is just a start: as of now the LPAA website and the NAZCA platform are just capturing a part of the reality. More can be done : It is still time to register more actions on NAZCA and to declare your support to relevant initiatives.

3 1/ A GROWING MOBILIZATION Cooperative initiatives More than 50 cooperative initiatives, ambitious and robust : Innovative public-private multi-stakeholder partnerships to accelerate the development of a particular objective or solution; Some are coming from the Climate Summit, others are new; All with ambitious commitments; 30 already registered on the LPAA website on NAZCA, with hundreds of participants and more to be added. Some Examples: En.lighten, more than 60 governments and regions to speed-up the progressive replacement of incandescent bulbs by more efficient technologies. Could achieve a -52% energy consumption from Lighting. The Divest-Invest initiative, movement is speeding-up with major pension Funds getting on board. The Compact of Mayors and the Convenants of Mayors are collecting, supporting and mobilizing local policy makers engaged in the energy transition. For details: see

At least 19 initiatives open to business: Caring for Climate (356 companies), Science based targets (45 companies), RE100 (29), Business Leadership on Carbon Pricing (42), Green Freight, Cement Sustainability Initiative, Global energy efficiency accelerator Platform, etc.

6 1/ A GROWING MOBILIZATION Civil-society organizations Hundreds of Civil-society organizations are part of the LPAA dynamic : Foundations, Universities and research teams, NGOs, Faith based communities Through Cooperative Initiatives, Civil-society organizations are visible on Nazca portal : -As they own financial assets for instance, Faith based communities or Universities can publicly commit to invest into renewables or energy efficiency; -As they contribute to innovative solutions (know how, research etc.) or dissemination. Some Examples: The Divest-Invest initiative, is gatherings dozens of foundations and even citizens Initiatives such as Science Based Targets or Refrigerant Naturally include major NGOs (Greenpeace, WWF )

10 2/ PREPARING THE LPAA SEQUENCE Example : LPAA Focus on Transport WHAT PATHWAYS FOR a 2C SCENARIO? Moving towards an almost complete de-carbonization of transport is a challenge but is increasingly technically and economically feasible. LPAA initiatives support a three-pronged transformation, which combines action on: (1) Freight transport, (2) Urban mobility; and (3) Accelerated deployment of electric and low emission vehicles Welcome and Introduction Current global transport landscape and prospective trends Freight and long distance transport Urban mobility, low carbon & clean vehicles, walking & cycling Transport s Adaptation to Climate Change Conclusions & Action beyond COP21

11 2/ PREPARING THE LPAA SEQUENCE Example : LPAA Focus on Subnational WHAT PATHWAYS FOR a 2C SCENARIO? As the world faces the greatest wave of urbanization in its history, a rapid, international scale-up of urban and local climate mitigation and resilience action is now urgently required. The support of the international community is crucial to increase this unprecedented mobilization of local players, from cities to regions and federal states. Thus, through a 5-year Vision, this Focus will discuss the main solutions to scale up local action in the coming years. 10:15 10:30 Opening words: why local-level action is key to a 2C pathway 10:30 10:45 Sharing a common narrative: main messages of the 2d assessment report on climate change in cities from the Urban Climate Change Research Network 10:45 11:15 Building on existing commitments: feedback from the Summit of Local Leaders (4th ember) 11:15 12:45 Scaling up local action through public-private partnerships and innovative solutions 12:45 01:15 Collectively committing to a 5-year vision to accelerate local-level transformation 01:15 01:30 Closing statements from COP21 and COP22 Presidencies

NAZCA displays the stakeholders commitments uploaded from data partners. LPAA Website: Provides information on the LPAA along the year, the Paris sequence, and further details to showcase LPAA labelled initiatives. The registered initiatives are assessed according to criteria of the LPAA. French version just released, Spanish to come
