-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Friday, November 21, 2014 4:00 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Climate Policy - COP21 Research conference: call for session proposals 21-Nov-2014 Dear Colleague, I would like to draw your attention to an important and unique event for the worldwide academic community engaged in climate issues ahead of the UNFCCC COP21 hosted by France in 2015. The International Scientific Conference “Our Common Future Under Climate Change”, initiated with the support of the COP21 Presidency (http://tandf.msgfocus.com/c/119iuUFKG0EbrVqD8OQg9TwZ), will take place from 7-10 July 2015 in Paris. It will be held at UNESCO HQ to accommodate up to 1,300 participants. A Call for Parallel Sessions proposals is currently open and the Call for Contributions will open at the beginning of December 2014. On behalf of the Scientific Committee I invite you to offer proposals under the Call for Parallel Sessions here: http://tandf.msgfocus.com/c/119iuVIGYEAo4zZ0zJLiNUTa. Please note the deadline is 30th November, 2014. This conference is an opportunity for the research community to come together to connect on, highlight and share the most recent scientific knowledge on climate change issues and to discuss evidence-based solutions going forward. As a member of its Scientific Committee, I’m convinced that this conference is an opportunity to build upon the recent IPCC Assessment Report, to progress in the scientific and particularly cross-disciplinary treatment of major global challenges, including through links to the development agenda. Ahead of the UNFCCC COP 21 negotiations, this conference provides a unique opportunity for academics to contribute. My own role includes a particular remit to encourage research of direct relevance to policy implementation and the international negotiations. Examples for example might include research on economic and political dimensions of closing the gap between the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (such as last week’s US-China announcement), and more ambitious global pathways and related economic and political scenarios analysis. For day 4 of the programme, on “Collective Action and Transformative Solutions”, Parallel Session topic areas could include for example the relationship between climate change and trade, risk and international finance, ways of bridging competing frameworks of equity and power-based approaches, the nexus of the SDG and UNFCCC processes, etc. Please feel free to circulate this email and conference website with your networks and interested colleagues, and don’t hesitate to contact the Conference Secretariat ([email protected]) if you need further information. I look forward to seeing some of you in Paris next July to engage on this important event. With best regards, Michael Grubb Editor-in-Chief, Climate Policy Journal Professor of International Energy and Climate Change Policy, University College London, Institute of Sustainable Resources https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/cpol
