AFD -Agence Française de Développement , co-organized by IDDRI -Institut du Développement Durable et des Relations Internationales and ADEME -Agency for Environment and Energy Management.

9 November, 16:00 –17:30
The Paris Agreement enacted two complementary dynamics for an ambitious actionon climate. On the one hand, the mitigation and adaptation commitments as well as the policies deployed fall to the national governments, who bear the responsibility to submit their national contribution to the global effort. On the other hand, non-state actors, notably private companies, have significantly contributed to the construction of a favorable dynamic, and were officially recognized for the first time within the framework of international negotiations. These dynamics remain, however, too disconnected at this stage, and there is presently no device to support a constructive dialogue between governments and private companies. This side-event aimed at enhancing the collective ambition of reducing greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions in emerging economies, showcasing the sectoral roadmaps and strategies for decarbonization for companies and promoting the virtual cycle between more ambitious commitments set by the states and strategies of private companies.
