What to remember from the latest IPCC report?
In 2021-2022, the IPCC published its sixth report: a synthesis of research on the impact of human activity on climate change conducted by the world's leading scientists. The findings of the latest report could not be clearer; it confirms that climate change is impacting all regions of the world, that adaptation measures are essential and that mitigation measures will be less costly than inaction. Join us on this panel to demystify what the IPCC's key findings and recommendations are for GHG mitigation and climate change adaptation in line with the Paris Agreement goals.

November 8 debriefing
We find our team on site in Egypt for a report on this second opening day, which aims to welcome leaders from around the world to the Conference of the Parties to present high-level ambitions and actions with a view to maintain a 1.5°C threshold within reach, adapt to protect communities and natural habitats and mobilize funding. These sessions will certainly see the emergence of new collaborations and strategies mobilization of members of civil society. They make it possible to ensure greater transparency between the "in camera" discussions of the negotiators and the rest of the population, in addition to reducing the risk of a gap between the discourse and the international commitments of those elected and their practices.

Let's discuss Nationally Determined Contribution: key instrument for achieving the Paris Agreement
Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) lie at the heart of the Paris Agreement and the achievement of these goals over the long term. In a nutshell: states' climate ambition comes to life in their national climate action plans, known as NDCs. As a signatory to the Glasgow Climate Pact, Canada is required to submit a revised NDC by the end of 2022. In addition, in March 2022, Canada released its 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan unveiling ambitious new measures to reduce emissions by 40% to 45% below 2005 levels by 2030. This is the first emissions reduction plan released under Canada's Carbon Neutrality Accountability Act. Do Canada's current NDC and 2030 emissions reduction plan meet Canada's fair contribution to limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees? How much do these targets need to be strengthened? Are we headed for a 1.5, 2.7-3.1 or even 4 world? Are we returning to the ambition of civil societies around the world?
