Start your two week COP stay with a Brief by Scientists and policy makers on what is stake if we fail to achieve the Paris Agreement and SDGs simultaneously
Dear Friends attending the COP in Bonn,
The World in 2050, an initiative and network of more than 20 science, academic, NGO, and multilateral institutions from around the world and hosted by IIASA, the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, is offering all of you who are attending COP23 this year a fantastic opportunity to begin your two week stay in Bonn with a brief on the risks that we face if we fail to achieve the Paris Agreement and the SDGs, and inversely also in the fantastic opportunities to advance the global agenda across several fronts if we succeed .
The two events will take place on Monday, November 6 and will be graciously hosted – one by the EU at the EU Pavilion from 10 to 11:30 am and the other from 1:30 to 3 by WWF. The line-up of speakers (see below) combines the perspectives and approaches of scientists, academicians, policy makers, NGOs, and business community as they work effortlessly to contribute to making these 2 agreements a reality.

Enhancing the Impact of the Paris Agreement through Stronger Development Linkages
The World in 2050 (TWI2050) Side Events
Hosted by WWF Pavilion, Date: Monday, November 6, 2017, Time: 13:30 to 15:00
The World in 2050 (TWI2050) – a global research initiative hosted at IIASA and involving some 20 institutions worldwide will discuss the challenges of developing transformational and equitable pathways to sustainable development within planetary boundaries necessary for the success of both the Paris Agreement and the SDGs.
The main purpose of this events will be to present and discuss the major challenges of acting on these two agreements from the perspective of the sciences and the science-policy interface. A major initiative hosted at IIASA and involving some 20 institutions from all over the world, will be the main focus of this events – its methodologies and approaches and its objectives.
The SDGs and the Paris Agreement set out very clear and ambitious global goals across social, economic and environmental areas with important interactions between and among these goals. What is lacking, and urgently required, is an assessment of the viability of achieving these multiple goals simultaneously using integrative and systemic methodological approaches.
The panelists will debate on the following questions:
a) How do we meet the hunger, poverty, energy, growth goals while meeting the environmental and climate goals?
b) What are the synergies and trade-offs?
c) How do we strengthen the climate and development linkages for greater impact?
d) What are the costs of pursuing social goals without meeting sustainability goals and the other way around?
e) What is required to improve the chances of success of these two agreements?
