The Lima-Paris Action Agenda

(LPAA)
Briefing on the occasion of ADP 2.11
19th October, 2015

1/ A growing mobilization
Main messages
Two months before the COP, state and non-state actors, through cooperative
initiatives, are responding to the call for an action-oriented COP :
Cooperative initiatives : climate-action initiatives are gathering new members
and setting for themselves high targets. The LPAA partners have seen and
assessed more than 100 initiatives.
Companies are taking new commitments in the run up to the COP and using
more and more the NAZCA platform to showcase them.
Subnationals have seen growing mobilization throughout the year, with
several political sequences, enlargement of the scope of their platforms, and
new work on the support side.
Civil society organizations are also part of the dynamic and active in a large
number of initiatives

This is just a start: as of now the LPAA website and the NAZCA platform
are just capturing a part of the reality.
More can be done : It is still time to register more actions on NAZCA and
to declare your support to relevant initiatives.

1/ A growing mobilization
Cooperative actions
More than 50 cooperative initiatives, ambitious and robust :
Innovative public-private multi-stakeholder partnerships to accelerate the
development of a particular objective or solution;
Some are coming from the Climate Summit, others are new;
All with ambitious commitments;
30 already registered on the LPAA website on NAZCA, with hundreds of
participants and more to be added.

Some Examples :

En.lighten, more than 60 governments and regions to speed-up the

progressive replacement of incandescent bulbs by more efficient
technologies. Could achieve a -52% energy consumption from Lighting.

The Divest-Invest initiative, movement is speeding-up with major

pension Funds getting on board.

The Compact of Mayors and the Convenants of Mayors are collecting,

supporting and mobilizing local policy makers engaged in the energy
transition.

For details : see http://newsroom.unfccc.int/lpaa

1/ A growing mobilization
Cities and subnationals
More 1,700 subnational individual commitments on NAZCA, from 582 cities
and 98 regions or states
Covering more than a 1 Billion of citizens 15% of the world population.
Some regions are very well covered (e.g. Japan, US, Brazil, EU) while others
are catching up rapidly (Latina America and Caribbean, Africa, Asia,
Oceania).

Some Examples :

Alliance of Peaking Pioneer Cities (APPC) 29 Cities of China and US (

4% of the world population, 12% of world GDP),

More than 10 initiatives: Compact of Mayors, New York Declaration on

Forests, the Carbon Neutral Cities Alliance, the Compact of States and
Regions, the Covenant of Mayors

1/ A growing mobilization
Businesses
More than 1,150 businesses inscribed their commitments on NAZCA :

half of the 4,279 commitments on NAZCA were made by companies

60% of them have quantified individual commitments

the commercial value of these companies is equivalent to the cumulative GDP
of Japan, Germany and France

Some Examples :

Involvement of major companies vary among sectors: energy (2 of the

10 largest energy companies are on NAZCA), services (4 of the 10
largest), retailers (8 of the 10 largest), food and drinks (5 of the 10
largest), manufacturers (of the 10 largest), health (3 of the 10 largest), etc.

At least 19 initiatives open to business: Caring for Climate (356

companies), Low-Carbon Sustainable Rail Transport Challenge (116
companies), Science based targets (45 companies), RE100 (29),
Business Leadership on Carbon Pricing (42), Green Freight, Cement
Sustainability Initiative, Global energy efficiency accelerator Platform, etc.

LPAA 1/ A growing mobilization

Civil-society organizations
Hundreds of Civil-society organizations are part of the LPAA dynamic :
Foundations
Universities and research teams
NGOs
Churches
Other organizations
Through Cooperative Initiatives, Civil-society organizations are visible on
Nazca portal :

-As they own financial assets for instance, Churches or Universities can publicly
commit to invest into renewables or energy efficiency
-As they contribute to innovative solutions (know how, research etc.) or
dissemination

Some Examples :

The Divest-Invest initiative, is gatherings dozens of foundations and

even citizens

Initiatives such as Science Based Targets or Refrigerant Naturally

include major NGOs (Greenpeace, WWF)

etc

LPAA Focus Events
3 hours + 15mn break
1. Review of the background and rationale for a 2-degree-consistent and resilient
scenario in the action area concerned + discussions on technological developments
and comparative public policies
2. Presentation of the major changes that will drive transformation and how the LPAA
initiatives concretely contribute to that change

Assess progress of initiatives launched at the Climate Summit

Showcase new cooperative initiatives contribution and potential

Feature concrete impacts

3. The ways forward for these initiatives and for the action area in general: challenges
ahead, progress expected in the future, emerging initiatives

2/ Preparing the LPAA sequence for Paris

Example : LPAA Focus on Transport
WHAT PATHWAYS FOR a 2C SCENARIO ? Moving towards an almost complete de-carbonization of
transport is a challenge but is increasingly technically and economically feasible. LPAA initiatives
support a three-pronged transformation, which combines action on: (1) Freight transport, (2)
Urban mobility; and (3) Aaccelerated deployment of electric and low emission vehicles.

2/ Preparing the LPAA sequence for Paris

Example : LPAA Focus on Subnational
WHAT PATHWAYS FOR a 2C SCENARIO ? As the world faces the greatest wave of
urbanization in its history, a rapid, international scale-up of urban and local climate
mitigation and resilience action is now urgently required. The support of the international
community is crucial to increase this unprecedented mobilization of local players, from cities
to regions and federal states. Thus, through a 5-year Vision, this Focus will discuss the main
solutions to scale up local action in the coming years.
10:15 10:30

Opening words: why local-level action is key to a 2C pathway

10:30 10:45

Sharing a common narrative: main messages of the 2d assessment

report on climate change in cities from the Urban Climate Change
Research Network

10:45 11:15

Local Leaders (4th December)

11:15 12:45

Scaling up local action through public-private partnerships and

innovative solutions

3/ Communication and mobilization for Paris

Two key websites to engage or find information
NAZCA = Non-State Actor Zone for Climate Action:

LPAA Website:

Launched in Lima, the NAZCA portal collects,

showcases and tracks progress to highlight the
scale of individual commitments by non-State
actors and cooperative action involving both
state and non state actors.

Provides information on the LPAA along the year, the

Paris sequence, and further details to showcase LPAA
labelled initiatives.
The registered initiatives are assessed according to
criteria of the LPAA.

NAZCA displays the stakeholders commitments

uploaded from data partners.

French version just released, spanish to come.

ANNEX Join the LPAA

Criteria
There are several criteria for an initiative to be included in the LPAA. It must:

Be cooperative, be inclusive, open and regionally balance.

Be ambitious: short and long term quantifiable targets transformative
actions guided by a 2C and resilient pathway.
Be science based: Address a concrete impact of climate change mitigation or
adaptation issues to get us on a resilient and below 2C pathway.
Have the capacity to deliver. Ability to directly deliver and implement
commitments.
Showcase implementation of existing commitments (sufficient level of
maturity in Paris)
Follow-up and report. Ready to report on implementation.

ANNEX Lessons learned and way forward

High-level leadership of the process is needed,

A dedicated support team is essential: to track, coordinate, trigger, engage,

and support initiatives.

Clearly established governance it may take 1-3 years for initiatives to rampup and deliver. Useful to have had the 4 Partners to ensure complementary
perspectives and roles.

General principles and minimum scrutiny are necessary to ensure robustness

and credibility to the process.

How to keep the dynamic after Paris?

How could the technical examination process of the Workstream 2

harverst the energy of the LPAA to improve its work after Paris?
