Ambition Ambition Ambition ! This leitmotif animates COP-26. It's no secret, keeping global warming below 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels and guarding against the dangerous effects of climate change requires increased ambition on all key aspects. of the climate agenda.
Join our climate ambition breakfast! Get the tools to better understand climate change, understand what is meant by ambition and understand the role that Quebec can play at the heart of its negotiations.
It will also be an opportunity to question the issues of justice and solidarity that this COP poses. The current circumstances: inequitable access to vaccines and exorbitant costs of participation mean that those facing the most disproportionate impacts of the climate crisis will not be well represented at the negotiating table. Questioning the credibility of the process .

Main author of the latest IPCC report
Last August, a report on the scientific elements of climate change was published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The conclusions drawn there cannot be clearer: unless there are immediate, rapid and massive reductions in GHG emissions, limiting warming to 1.5 ° C or below 2 ° C will no longer be possible. And that would result in the failure of the primary objective of the Paris Agreement.
So, to better understand the main lines and the main findings of the latest IPCC report and its impact on the negotiations, but also the role of this world reference organization on climate change, come and listen to our experts on the subject!

CoPs are often criticized and their usefulness questioned, not without reason. After 25 years of great meetings, thousands of hours of negotiations and results that still seem too unambitious, it is legitimate to question the usefulness of COPs. But the fact remains that behind this COP-26 lies an essential truth, governments can no longer pretend and must show ambition.
So if you too are wondering what the CoPs are for and how the negotiations in Glasgow will be different join this breakfast.

As COP-26 nears, more than 400 international health organizations and professionals, representing two-thirds of the world's health workers, signed an open letter calling on policymakers to consider the benefits of l climate action for health.
Yet while the effects of climate change on the health of individuals, but also on our entire health system are already being felt, most climate decision-making processes fail to consider the health benefits. There is no miracle cure for this problem, but achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement is already a good start. Solutions are available to us, come and discuss them and make health a game of climate ambition.
We find our team live from COP-26 who will take stock of this opening day, which aims to welcome leaders from around the world to the Conference of the Parties so that they present ambitions and actions of high level in order to keep a threshold of 1.5 ° C within reach, adapt to protect communities and natural habitats and mobilize funding.

No country can solve the climate crisis on its own, which is why we need to achieve unprecedented levels of international collaboration. And, it's hard to imagine implementing such a collaboration without everyone contributing their fair share to the global effort.
This principle of fair share does not apply only to countries, but can extend to entities such as provinces, cities, or even individuals. So in this context, it is legitimate to ask: "What is Quebec's fair share in the global fight against climate change and how can it implement it?" "
Join this conversation to learn more about Quebec's fair share and the means at our disposal to implement it.

“Climate change and biodiversity loss are two of the most pressing issues of the Anthropocene,” says the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) in its report released last summer. The figures presented there are alarming: about half of the area of coral reefs and more than 85% of the global area of wetlands have disappeared as of today. Under the most pessimistic scenarios, rapid climate change could wipe out up to 90% of all species. It is no longer time to sound the alarm, but to act.
To learn about the main impacts of climate change on biodiversity and the existing synergies between climate and ecosystems, but also to understand how international commitments such as the Paris Agreement and the Convention on Biological Diversity lay the foundations for governance for the climate and the preservation of biodiversity, come and join us on this panel!

Carbon pricing mechanisms are probably at the heart of the measures that Canada will take to achieve its greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets by 2030, with a view to becoming carbon neutral by 2050. Québec is not not left out and also uses this type of measure to achieve its own targets. It is even a cost effective way to reduce emissions.
The only problem is that carbon pricing only works if the mechanisms are well designed. So where are we, what are the challenges of the Canadian and Quebec approaches?

Analyst - Mobility at Équiterre
Foster the global transition to zero-emission transport.
At the international level, transport represents between 15% and 25% of greenhouse gas emissions, and three quarters of these emissions come more specifically from road transport, whether it is a question of moving people or goods.
In Canada, the transportation sector is the only one whose emissions continue to grow along with the fossil fuel sector. In Quebec, transportation accounts for nearly half of carbon emissions (44.8%), in particular due to the growth of the vehicle fleet and the size of the vehicles that make it up.
However, there are many solutions to remedy the situation, and it is urgent to deploy them to reduce the “drive-thru” culture here and elsewhere.
Join this breakfast to learn more about the impact of transport on the climate crisis and the levers of action at our disposal .
WED 10
10:30 am-12:15pm Natural solutions for the climate: how to avoid greenwashing?
As with any new concept, nature-based solutions for the climate face the risk of recovery and diversion. We are already seeing it. In the race for carbon neutrality, accounting for and offsetting greenhouse gas emissions are central issues. Some already do not hesitate to use solutions based on nature with a view to greenwashing, believing that they can thus avoid the work of mitigating their GHG emissions and continue their activities without any real effort to operate. a real ecological and social transition.
Faced with this reality, certain civil society groups are beginning to warn about these risks of drift, in particular the First Peoples who see in them, among other things, dangers in terms of their traditional use of the territory or even additional means for companies and States of take control of land and forests by violating their rights under the pretext of carbon offsets.
The activity proposed here will attempt to address these issues related to the implementation of natural solutions for the climate at a time when efforts to fight and adapt to climate change must be combined with those to protect biodiversity while at the same time ensuring the well-being of populations .

Although cities cannot be Parties in the strict sense of the term to the Paris Agreement, they have a major role to play in the fight against climate change. In 2019, the UN Secretary General, António Guterres even qualified mayors as “the leading global players in the face of the climate emergency”. Indeed, although they occupy only 2% of the physical space of the Earth, cities are nevertheless responsible for the consumption of two thirds of energy and generate 70% of GHG emissions.
However, for several years now, we have witnessed an urban movement that no longer consists simply of issuing climate measures, but of a real integration of climate considerations into the development model of many cities. Currently, 708 cities have joined the UN Race to Zero and are committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.

How we communicate on COP-26 will have a major impact on mobilizing civil society for the future. A few hours from the end, the Community of Practice in Climate Communication and the Climate Dialogues invite you to a collective discussion, moderated by Hugo Séguin, on the basis of the information available at this point and the trends observed on the spot.
