Marrakech: Engagement at COP22

Our engagement at COP22—the 22nd annual Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate change—focuses on citizen engagement strategies, putting a price on carbon, and a vision for the long-term comprehensive transition of the global financial sector, to eliminate climate-forcing compounds from routine investment priorities.

Above, you can learn about the Citizens’ Climate Engagement Network or share your #ClimateVision for a livable future.

On this page, you can learn about our three main areas of focus:

Citizen Engagement
Carbon Pricing
Climate-Resilient Investment

The three areas of focus work together to reinforce each other and to establish a long-term strategy for achieving macro-critical climate resilience across the world.

Areas of Focus and Goals

To achieve meaningful progress on engagement, pricing, and investment transition, we are looking to see concrete progress at COP22 on at least three goals within each of these three areas of focus.

Citizen Engagement / ACE

Legal language to drive citizen participation in policy design and deployment.
Participatory, ongoing MRV through robust, always active, citizen engagement.
Multilevel collaborative institutions: open to citizens and stakeholders.

Carbon Pricing / CPW

Core Principles for transparent, effective, generative pricing.
COP decision: A welcoming environment for climate finance includes effective carbon pricing.
COP to Parties guidance on carbon dividends as a climate-resilient development strategy.

Climate-Resilient Investment / CRI

Generative, locally rooted NDCs.
Integrated innovation for business-model change.
Shifting all financial flows to a do no climate harm standard.

High-Level Dialogue on Accelerating NDCs
Sunday — 13 November 2016 — Marrakech, Morocco

Event page: engage4climate.org/cop22

The 8th high-level dialogue in the series Accelerating Progress, Advancing Innovation, this moderated discussion, convened under the Chatham House Rule, will bring leaders in government, business, science, and policy advocacy together to outline pathways for accelerating national climate action strategies, which are not yet ambitious enough to meet the goal of limiting warming to 1.5ºC by mid-century.
