- 12 Opportunities for sustainable low carbon transport in developing countries Transport experts and developing country representatives will discuss existing and emerging opportunities for mainstreaming climate policy in the transport sector as well as recommendations for capitalising on related finance, capacity building and technology provisions. Geoengineering or Geopiracy As an increasing number of scientific organizations debate the technicalities of large-scale climate techno-fixes, including most recently the IPCC, civil society opposition is growing. Come to this session to get informed about the debate that could derail progress on real emissions reduction. Ensuring coherence in addressing IP and climate: what role for the UNFCCC and relevant int'l bodies? The role of IP in addressing climate change is complex and often divisive. Moreover, various intergovernmental and regional organizations have potential functions or relevance in global decisions and solutions. This session will discuss whether, how, and where IP issues may be handled. Adaptation Partnership An update on the work of the Adaptation Partnership, hosted by Spain, Costa Rica, and the United States Fostering innovative methods of work within the UNFCCC process The aim of the events is to open a debate on new methods of work within the UNFCCC process. Ensuring no net incidence on developing countries from carbon pricing of international transport The Rebate Mechanism (RM) will be debated. Under RM all ships pay for their emissions. A developing country obtains an annual rebate in relation to its share of global seaborne imports. Remaining revenue - from developed countries - goes to climate change action. RM can also apply to aviation. Transport Research Foundation (TRF) Ms. Anne Binsted abinsted@trl.co.uk (+44 1344 770568)
