The Warsaw Climate Change Conference is convening at a time when the demands from science have never been clearer and yet the negotiations for a new agreement have not entered full gear. This panel of experts will discuss key issues at stake in Warsaw, keeping in mind the negotiation process to 2015 when an agreement is expected. One of the negotiation tracks is tasked to find ways to close the mitigation gap before the expected new agreement comes into force by 2020. Climate finance is also high on the agenda with an in-session high-level ministerial dialogue on mobilizing climate finance scheduled. This event brings together the results from the extended work program on long-term finance towards the $100 billion goal, among other sources. As the negotiations wind down from the brainstorming phase, there is a good opportunity to explore mitigation strategies, particularly on how responsibility can be shared.
