The Paris AgreementSlide3
Outline
Paris Agreement and its global impacts
Adaptation in the Paris Agreement
EU response: The 2030 climate and energy frameworkEU Adaptation Strategy and way ahead
Implications for Accession CountriesSlide4
The Paris Agreement
Universal legal agreement
Long-term goal
5-year ambition cycle
Transparency, accountability and compliance
International cooperationSlide5
An ambitious Agreement
A long-term goal to hold temperature increase to well below 2
0
C, and pursue efforts to limit to 1.5
0
C
Global emissions to peak as soon as possible, net zero emissions in the second half of the Century
Legally binding obligations to maintain
successive
targets and to pursue domestic mitigation measures – 189 countries have submitted their plans
A global stocktake every five years starting in 2018 with increased ambition over timeSlide6
Global stocktake
Commitments
2018
2023
2028+
Facilitative dialogue on emissions reductions
New science on 1.5°C
New or updated contributions by 2020
First global stocktake
To consider progress on global goals for low-emission and climate-resilient development – and financing
Stocktake
every 5 years
After 2030, all to communicate new emissions reductions contributions every 5 years
Progression on previous effortsSlide7
A transparent Agreement
All Parties must account for their contributions – track progress on targets
Methodologies and common metrics will apply
Enhanced transparency and accountability framework, with biennial reporting and expert review
No double counting : essential for linking of emission trading systemsSlide8
A fair Agreement
Support for vulnerable countries
Goal of mobilising $100bn per year extended to 2025, new goal to be set before 2025 widening the donor base
Capacity building and technology transfer for developing countries ; support for
m
onitoring, reporting and verification
Adaptation at political par; Loss and Damage for the first time part of an international agreementSlide9
Adaptation in the Paris Agreement
Ambition
Long-term goal on adaptation
5-year
ambition
cycle:
A global stocktake every five years starting in 2018 with increased ambition over time, which also applies to adaptation
Transparency
Enhanced
transparency and
accountability, including for adaptation action and support given and received
Fairness
Adaptation at political par with mitigation
Loss and damage
Support for developing countries, including
finance

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
Not legally binding, but universally apply to all
Climate change in the agenda and the SDGs
:
10
Resilience fully mainstreamed: 12 SDGs directly involve taking action on climate change
Goal 13
: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its
impactsSlide11
Successful INDC process before Paris
Aggregate global emissions:
UNFCCC Synthesis report
UNEP Gap report
INDC more than numbers:
IEA World Energy Outlook: decoupling
MILES IDDRI report: air pollution, energy security benefits
JRC
Global Energy and Climate Outlook
Parties
with INDCs covering periods up to 2030 invited to communicate or update by 2020, following a 2018 facilitative dialogue => INDCs from 189 Parties
AmbitionSlide12
Impact of INDCs on global emissions

INDCs : References to carbon tax, ETS and International market mechanisms
Planned / possible use of int'al market mechanisms
No specific references or no INDC
yet
Domestic ETS and carbon taxes

Next steps
COM presented assessment to the Council on COP21 in March, in view of 2030 climate and energy framework
April 22:
High-level signatory ceremony in April
November-December :
COP22 in Marrakech to deliver and elaborate on implementation
As of now :
start implementing INDCsSlide15
What does Paris mean for the 2030 package?
EU targets for 2030 target already reflect action needed to stay below 2 degrees Celsius
2018 global stocktake will assess need for further global action, based on past performance and new science
By 2020, submission of a mid-century emission reduction strategy
2020, communicate or update existing NDC2023, global stocktake
2025, communicate or update existing NDC
….Slide16
2015 : Action on EU ETS
May 2015 - Market Stability Reserve adopted
will boost confidence and step-be-step neutralise the market surplus
July 2015 - EU ETS revision proposed
a first crucial step for implementing the 2030 climate and energy framework
November 2015 - carbon market report
new annual reporting exercise; finds that EU ETS carbon price incentivises cost-effective emission reductions, motivates business and help bring innovative technologies to the marketplaceSlide17
2016 : on EU ETS : key elements for negotiation in Council and Parliament
Carbon leakage
Innovation fund
Modernisation fund
Transitional free allocation to power sector in lower income Member StatesSlide18
2016 : Commission to propose implementation of EU INDCs
Sectors outside the ETS: households, transport, agriculture and land use, land use change and forestry
Strategy for the decarbonisation of transport
Energy efficiency
Electricity market design
Renewables (including biomass, biofuels)
Integrated climate and energy governanceSlide19
Implications for adaptation in the EU…
The PA create a new vision and new opportunities for adaptation:
"Soft binding" obligation for planning process and implementation of actions
Adaptation efforts to become more ambitious over time, and part of the Global Stocktake

The crucial role of non-state actors
23
The
PA recognises
the role of non-Party
stakeholders,
including
cities and
other subnational
authorities. They
are invited
to:
scale
up their
efforts;
build
resilience and decrease
vulnerability;
uphold
and promote regional and international cooperation
.
The new Covenant of Mayor major role to play in stepping up pre2020 ambitions at local levelSlide24

Increasing resilience across the whole EU territory: all MS and local authorities need an adaptation strategy
Speeding
up implementation of adaptation action
Additional
mainstreaming needed (energy,
agriculture, transport
, health)
Engaging
the private sector and business in adaptation
Dealing
with potentially much more
significant climate impacts
Adaptation in the EU – challenges aheadSlide26
Implications for Accession Countries
Each party
shall
prepare, communicate and maintain contributions
All Parties
shall
pursue domestic measures to achieve reductions
Candidates are urged to design their climate (and energy) action plans in line with EU 2030 framework for climate and energy policiesSlide27
Implications for Accession Countries
CLIMA has secured 500,000 EUR from IPA 2016 programming for a bridging action to assist with implementation of the Paris Climate Agreement
Follow up to ECRAN will be financed from IPA 2017 as
a multi-annual
regional climate projectSlide28
