Today's theme, Energy & Transportation, is part of the Exponential Climate Action Summit IV – brought to you live from Glasgow and our hubs in Nairobi, Washington DC, and Stockholm. Highlights: Keynote speech from Niklas Heuveldop, President & CEO, Ericsson, North America. Transport panel with representatives from Maersk and Scania. Lost voices from Pakistan.
Follow the following schedule for today's broadcast 08:00-08:10 – The Glasgow COPpuccinos at The Resilience Hub - Episode 4 Resilience Hub: Wanjira Mathai detects levels of ‘smoke and mirrors in the way adaptation finance is being negotiated and calculated, which echoes the low degrees of trust between South and North. She highlights the importance of the negotiations of acknowledging the climate ‘loss and damage’ that is already locked into the climate system and which will be picked up by the global South. It is, she says, an issue not only of solidarity but also of the entanglement of African minerals and products (coffee for our COPpuccinos, for example) in global supply chains. She believes the best indicator that someone is genuinely switched on to resilience is that they are losing sleep over the very low levels of climate finance for adaptation in the global South. Speakers: - Wanjira Mathai , AfricaDirector, World Resources Institute
Organizer: The Resilience Shift 08:15-09:45 — Connecting the Dots: Human Rights and Climate Change It is clear that climate change impacts human rights. Reflecting on real-life experiences and scenarios, this workshop aims to reinforce youth groups’ knowledge of the interlinkages between human rights and climate change and identify strategies to leverage a rights-based approach to catalyze climate action and adaptation that is fairer and more inclusive.

Organizer: Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights 10:00-10:45 — World Energy Outlook The International Energy Agency (IEA)’s World Energy Outlook (WEO) provides critical analysis and insights on trends in energy demand and supply, and what they mean for energy security, environmental protection, and economic development. This event will showcase the latest findings from the WEO scenarios, highlighting the key choices, consequences, and contingencies that lie ahead in the path of the clean energy transition. It will also illustrate how the course of the energy system might be affected by changing some of the key variables, including the climate actions adopted by governments around the world.

Organizer: Plymouth Marine Laboratory 11:00–12:30 — ICC Carbon Pricing Principles In the absence of an agreement on Article 6 of the Paris Agreement on international carbon markets, many countries are moving ahead fast and develop carbon pricing instruments and businesses/sectors also use a shadow carbon price in their models. Over 60 carbon pricing schemes, including carbon taxes, have been implemented at national level whilst others are still being developed, which has created a fragmented international climate policy landscape, compounded by administrative complexity. Yet a stronger and more coordinated approach to carbon pricing is critical if we are to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. Governments also lack specific guidance on the design of carbon pricing policies that support the real economy and incentivize enhanced climate action and ambition. This event aims to bring together experts involved in developing the ICC Carbon Pricing Principals as well as key stakeholders from the public sector for an in-depth exchange on the challenges and prospects for carbon pricing globally, considering ICC’s 10 clear steps for developing and implementing effective carbon pricing. Organizer: ICC 12:15-13:00 — The San José Declaration: a vision for sustainable hydropower The world cannot achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 without the flexibility and balance that sustainable hydropower provides to clean energy systems. Appointed by representatives of governments, NGOs, hydropower industry, financial institutions, and academia, the 2021 San José Declaration on Sustainable Hydropower outlines a new progressive vision for sustainable hydropower to play its best role in the clean energy transition. Moderator: Eddie Rich, CEO of the International Hydropower Association Keynote speech from: Hon Andrea Meza, Minister of Environment and Energy, Government of Costa Rica Speakers: - Hon Malcolm Turnbull, former Prime Minister of Australia
