The spread of COVID-19 and extreme weather, such as heavy rainfall, are greatly impacting economic activities and daily lives. Worse yet, if temperatures continue to rise, more infectious diseases are predicted to emerge. Nowadays, it has become necessary to push the idea that human lives precede economic priorities. Under these circumstances, some countries and local governments have already begun moving towards a green recovery, with decarbonisation in mind.
The European Commission unveiled the European Green Deal in December 2019, motivated to turn environmental and climate challenges in policy areas into opportunities. It showed specific measures, such as raising the 2030 greenhouse gas reduction target, implementing necessary legislation, allocating funding, and showing steps that could be taken. Each member of the European Union is implementing green recovery measures with climate change countermeasures in mind.
If the current trend of greenhouse gas emissions continues, we will see the average global temperature rise by 1.5 degrees as early as 2030. We need to respond to climate change urgently, but we face a major challenge when trying to promote decarbonisation in the current situation. The impact of the COVID-19 crisis is being felt across the whole world, and we must keep this in mind when promoting decarbonisation under the name of green recovery.
IGES serves as the Secretariat for the International Research Network for Low Carbon Societies (LCS-RNet), and has facilitated discussions on how to make transitions towards realising low-carbon and decarbonised societies at its annual meetings held 11 times in the past to date.
At this session, together with international experts involved in decarbonisation research (in Japan, France, Germany, Italy, and the UK), we will focus on the economic and social impacts caused by COVID-19 crisis and climate change, such as transition in industry sector, employment, and finance. We will then discuss the role of science, by exchanging views on how we can respond to the on-going crisis in a timely and appropriate manner, and how science can contribute to the re-design of our societies in the long run.

Panelists:
Aim of panel discussion:
The Paris Agreement invited each of the Parties to submit a “long-term low greenhouse gas emission development strategy” (long-term strategy) by 2020, looking at the second half of this century. 12 countries have submitted the long-term strategies as of 26 July 2019. Some of them are considering more ambitious GHG reduction targets, and many of the countries that have not yet submitted are still looking for their long-term strategies toward decarbonized societies. The aim of this panel discussion is to share the existing knowledge of the countries’ long-term strategies, and to discuss the further challenges and opportunities of future practices toward decarbonized societies.
Panelists are requested to answer some of the following questions and/or relevant questions posed by themselves.
Questions for the panelists:
By what process has the long-term strategy been decided/considered?
What are important issues/challenges in implementing the long-term strategy?
What kind of scientific knowledge is needed/expected to discuss/implement the long-term strategy?

In October 2018, 48th Session of the IPCC accepted the Summary for Policymakers of the "Global Warming of 1.5°C: An IPCC Special Report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways, in the context of strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development, and efforts to eradicate poverty". In C2 of this Summary for Policymakers, it states with high confidence that "[p]athways limiting global warming to 1.5°C with no or limited overshoot would require rapid and far-reaching transitions in energy, land, urban and infrastructure (including transport and buildings), and industrial systems".
This side event feature a keynote speech on the special report on global warming of 1.5°C followed by brief introductions of on-going transition research and actions in various fields, as well as discussions on whether the stated "system transitions" are possible.
Panel discussion: How possible are "system transitions" consistent with global warming of 1.5?

■しかく Main theme of the 10th annual meeting
Time for action towards an ambitious decarbonised world
The Talanoa Dialogue was started in order to gain an understanding of the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions on a global scale and to examine the increased ambition towards a decarbonised world. Trends show that various actions must be implemented urgently to achieve decarbonised societies. NDCs are certainly the first step, but they are not sufficient to realise 1.5/2 °C targets. What is required are more ambitious GHG reduction scenarios, roadmaps and actions to achieve zero-carbon. In this regard, at the annual meeting, we will share proposed actions towards an ambitious decarbonised world in various regions and sectors, and we will discuss how to implement these actions effectively.
■しかく Background idea of four breakout sessions
(1-A) 1.5/2 degree targets and long-term low-carbon global development strategies
1.5 °C target and 2 °C target are the main goals of the Paris Agreement, but the present NDCs are insufficient. In order to realise the above goals, more ambitious targets are requested globally. One of these efforts is "long-term low-carbon development strategy", and another is the Talanoa Dialogue as a precedent of the global stocktake. We will discuss implementation of these actions from a long-term perspective.
(1-B) Impact and adaptation
GHG mitigation actions are essential to realise a decarbonised world, but actions related to adaptation will also be needed to ensure sustainable decarbonisation. Through the discussion in this breakout session, we will share advanced actions related to adaptation.
(2-A) Innovation and transition
The breakout session will feature discussion on what kind of innovation is needed to implement the actions. This includes not only technological innovation, but also institutional innovation with regards to lifestyle among others.
(2-B) Actions in the developing world
The actions in developing countries will be the key to achieving a decarbonised world, because it is expected that GHG emissions from the developing countries will increase more rapidly than those in developed countries. Discussion points include what kind of actions are requested in the developing countries, how the actions will be promoted, and how developed countries can support those actions in developing countries.
