COP23 Companion Event on India’s Climate Mitigation and Adaptation: Key Strategies | November 17, 2017 | 0900 to 1500 hrs | Conference |
Venue: Hilton Hotel Bonn, Berliner Freiheit 2, Bonn COP23 Companion Event on India’s Climate Mitigation and Adaptation: Key Strategies––sharing of green information, news and views –– Post-Paris, the international community is determined to meet the global climatechallenge with the help ofnew strategies and initiatives that simultaneously promote inclusive, sustainable socio-economic development, environmental sustainability, and sustainable peace. India’s role as a global climate actor is critical. Luckily, India is quickly synchronizing with the new climate goals. India promotes cooperation on disaster risk management, clean energy,and innovative green technology solutions that combine development potential with the reduction of carbon emissions. North-South technology transfer is only one part of the climate-development nexus. Indigenization of technology innovation and knowledge sharing are emerging as increasingly important approaches to climate action. GOALThis conference provides a platform to highlight India as an important scene of green innovation, while explainingIndia’s key strategies in green policy development, as reflected in India’s evolving position in climate negotiations. In this conference we will present and discuss India’s viewpoints, initiatives and key strategies, as India makes thetransition to a new “green evolution”. BACKGROUNDIndia accounts for about 4.5 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions and is the fourth largest emitter of greenhouse gasses. The Paris Agreement on Climate Change, which sets out the architecture for carbon emission reduction after 2020, was ratified by India on October 2, 2016. The Paris accord safeguards the principle of common but differentiated responsibility and respective capabilities (CBDR-RC), which has remained a non-negotiable aspect of India’s climate position. This principle squarely puts the major responsibility on developed nations to drastically cut their carbon emissions and provide the necessary finance, technology and capacity building for developing economies to mitigate and adapt to climate change. India would like all the key elements–adaptation, mitigation, finance, technology transfer and capacity building–to be incorporated in the global climate deal. India’s additional contribution to climate action is provisional onthe availability of finance and technologies from the industrialized economies. India also encourages the development of aset of rules to tax or regulate the higher emissions by corporationsacross the globe, as well as a framework of efficiency and climate awareness.In the field of disaster management, India wants to operationalizeloss and damage in the long-term, and set up mechanismsto compensate for climate-related losses that especially affect Small Island States, Least Developed Nations, and developing countries. India also wants toplay a more proactive climate and development role, domestically and abroad. Regionally, India recognizes that climate action can open up new opportunities to overcome trust deficits through heightened inter-state cooperation on disaster preparedness, early warning systems, disaster risk reduction measures,and sharing of real-time data. CONCEPTCo-organized by the Indian Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (IDSA) and the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO), this conference is a part of the two institutes’ current research cooperation on India in the World: Emerging Perspectives on Global Challenges, and its subproject on Climate Change. The aim of this event is to create a platform whereIndian academics, analysts and practitionerscan present and interact witha global audience at the COP23 summit. The format: maximum ten-minute informal presentations will be followed by Q&A, debate and interaction. PROGRAM

IDSA-GIGA Conference on Changing Asia 2017: Perspectives on Regional and Global Cooperation | September 15, 2017 to September 16, 2017 | Conference |
The “Changing Asia 2017: Perspective on Regional and Global Cooperation”, the second conference of the high-profile biannual Changing Asia conference series, is being organised jointly by IDSA and GIGA on September 15-18, 2017 at IDSA, New Delhi. The first conference was held in 2015 on perspectives on regional and global cooperation at GIGA in Hamburg, together with a subsequent policy panel at the KAS conference centre in Berlin. Around 30 scholars and think-tank representatives are expected to participate in the 2017 conference. The objective of the conference is to deliberate upon the current patterns of conflict and collaboration within and across Asia’s sub-regions and as the role of rising Asian powers in global cooperation. Based on developments in the region, we aim to develop insights into the preconditions for cooperation (or the lack thereof) at the regional and global levels as well as explore the perceptions and power equations of the key actors.
