8 December 2014 – The University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) are in Lima, Peru for an exciting week of climate discussions as part of the UNFCCC Conference of Parties (COP). The 20th COP is an essential milestone on the way to securing a definitive global agreement in Paris at the end of 2015.
During the COP, CISL, along with the Nordic Council of Ministers, Ecofys and WRI, hosted an event to launch an online database tracking the activities of climate initiatives globally. The database was showcased as part of a side-event hosted jointly by CISL, the German Development Institute, the VU University Amsterdam and Ecofys during COP20 in Lima. The event brought together different parties to the UNFCCC to discuss new work exploring the role of Cooperative Initiatives, and debate the value of such a framework capturing non-state and sub-national climate action.
