The panel will explore the findings of the recent Production Gap Report and discuss policy options for winding down fossil fuel production.
On Tuesday, the UNSG Special Envoy for the 2019 Climate Change Summit will join New Zealand and Costa Rica government officials – as well as a labor representative and UNEP and SEI experts – to explore the findings of the recent Production Gap Report and discuss policy options for winding down fossil fuel production.
The report, released in November, highlights the discrepancy between countries’ plans for coal, oil and gas production and the global levels consistent with Paris goals. It finds that countries plan to produce more than double the amount of fossil fuels than consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C.
When: Tuesday, 3 December, 13:15 – 14:45
Where: Room 3, IFEMA – Feria de Madrid
This event will be webcast here.
