INDCs are expected to become key components of a new climate change agreement, and thus Parties to the Convention must think critically about sectorial approaches. In this context, bold mitigation strategies in the transport sector will be an essential element of raising pre-2020 ambition and meeting post-2020 national targets.
Objectives of the workshop
The 5th B4E Climate Summit in London will bring together more than 400 global leaders from business, government, media and NGOs to discuss and agree on recommendations for transformation in energy productivity to drive global growth and prosperity. The Summit will present a long-term outlook for energy productivity and explore the emerging technologies, financing and policy changes required to achieve lasting benefits for society and the environment.
The 8th International and Environmental Congress will be held one month before the 21st Conference of the Parties (COP) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris, France. This affords a singular opportunity to bring together business and policy leaders, civil society and people from the academy in the region, to prepare, educate, and energize them for the coming COP.
In 2015, France will be hosting and presiding the 21st Session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP21/CMP11), otherwise known as “Paris 2015” from November 30th to December 11th. COP21 will be a crucial conference, as it needs to achieve a new international agreement on the climate, applicable to all countries, with the aim of keeping global warming below 2°C.
Theme: Planning and Development in Developing Country Perspectives
Department of Urban and Regional Planning (DURP) of Jahangirnagar University is going to organize its first international conference “Bangladesh Planning Research Conference (BPRC)” on 5-6 February 2016 at Jahangirnagar University, Dhaka,Bangladesh. The aim of this conference is to exchange research and experiences in all aspect of planning among the leading academics, researchers and practitioners.
Following the success of the Paris Process on Mobility and Climate (PPMC) in promoting sustainable transport in the context of COP21, there are plans to continue joint action. Partnership for Sustainable Low Carbon Transport (SLoCaT) and Michelin Challenge Bibendum (MCB) are organizing a stakeholder meeting on March 10th from 1pm to 6:30 pm in Paris, France.
The President of the UN General Assembly (UNGA), Mogens Lykketoft, will convene a high-level thematic debate on sustainable development, climate change and financing. This event is one of three high-level events the President will convene during UNGA 70. Lykketoft said on 19 October 2015 that the meeting will involve a range of stakeholders.

Sustainable urban solutions will play a key role with a view to achieving both the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and international climate change targets over the next decades. The German Habitat Forum will provide a platform for discussion on how to design sustainable solutions for cities in the future, and will look at the key aspects of 'mobility' and 'urban infrastructure'.
The Paris Agreement on Climate Change calls for global CO2 reductions to hold climate warming to a ‘well-below-2-degrees’ Celsius target, which is typically taken as a 1.5-degree Celsius target. At the same time, the Paris Agreement calls for accelerated action on Adaptation.
