Launched in COP17/CMP 7 in Durban last year, Momentum for Change provides a public platform to showcase broad-ranging climate change actions that are already achieving tangible results on the ground. By shining light on inspiring and transformational mitigation and adaptation activities, Momentum for Change aims to strengthen motivation, spur innovation and catalyse further change towards a low-carbon, high resilient future. This year’s activities fall under the Urban Poor pillar of Momentum for Change, which has been generously funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. They consist of mitigation and adaptation activities that are a result of collaborative efforts between the public and private sectors and benefit the urban poor in developing countries. This year’s nine Lighthouse Activities range from an initiative led by women in Uganda to mitigate climate change while promoting economic development opportunities, to a project in Peru that promotes energy efficiency in an artisanal brick factory, to game-changing bus rapid transit systems in India and China. A special event on the 4 December will celebrate the 2012 Lighthouse Activities in the presence of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and other dignitaries. There will be an ability to learn more about the 2012 Lighthouse Activities during their presentation on 5 of December. Two new pillars will also be launched in Doha. In collaboration with the Rockefeller Foundation, Momentum for Change: Women for Results, will be launched on the evening of 5 December. This pillar will provide recognition to the important role played by women in mitigation and adaptation to climate change. In collaboration with the World Economic Forum, the United Nations Climate Change secretariat will launch Momentum for Change: Innovative Finance on 6 December 2012. This pillar will showcase innovative and proven financing examples to support adaptation and mitigation activities in developing countries.

II. Side Events The Side Event programme for COP 18/CMP 8 contains around 225 events focused on major issues in the Convention process. Most side events are held in Hall 5.

For a breakdown of the Side Events please see our web schedule, which allows events to be sorted by category as well as by organizer group. The secretariat encourages you to use the upload facility which is available to all Side Event organizers for uploading draft agendas in advance and sharing presentation files with participants after the event. The upload facility is also available to all Exhibit organizers for uploading electronic publications to the UNFCCC website. The facility can be accessed by Side Event and Exhibit organizers through the Side Events and Exhibits Online Registration System (SEORS). For advertising your event, you can go beyond the limited character spaces for the title and the theme within SEORS by uploading detailed agenda and expanded description of your event using this function. Changes can be made by replacing or deleting the existing files up to four weeks after the conference. Please note that individual files should not exceed 4 MB, but it is possible to upload as many files as needed. Since 2011, the side event schedules are not printed in the Daily Programme as part of the on-going efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of the conference. This year, the secretariat further strengthened its sustainability efforts and introduced the UN PaperSmart from COP 18/CMP 8. In this context, the Daily Programme will this year only be available in electronic format through the PaperSmart portal. Announcements of side events are made through the following channels: 1. web schedules of all side events; 2. the CCTV monitors on the day of the event throughout the conference venues; 3. this electronic Side Event and Exhibits Brochure that could be consulted through the UNFCCC website 4. the secretariat will post the schedules of “side events of the day” at the side event hall.

B. The United Nations system delivering as one on sustainable solutions for climate action

United Nations system experts cooperate closely in a committed effort to support the international community in addressing climate change within a framework for action adopted by the United Nations System Chief Executives Board for Coordination (CEB), under the chairmanship of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. This framework has targeted priority areas to achieve results on climate change action. Each agency contributes to this joint effort on the basis of its respective area of expertise, intergovernmental mandate and available resources. The overall objective is to maximize existing synergies, eliminate duplication and overlaps, while at the same time optimizing the impact of the collective efforts of the United Nations system in supporting countries in their efforts to combat climate change. This breadth and coherence of United Nations system activities is reflected in 17 Side Events at COP18/CMP8. Those side events gather a number of agencies under a thematic focus and demonstrate how the United Nations system responds to country needs and supports implementation of climate action at global, regional, national and local levels, given the urgent need to accelerate action on adaptation and mitigation.

C. Hikma Hours

Programme for Hikma Hours The Arab world has a long tradition, history and experience in coping with extreme climatic conditions given its geographic location mostly spread over desert and arid land. In the face of a long history of dealing with water scarcity, droughts, extreme weather, and highly sensitive land and ecosystems, Arabs developed remarkable resilience to climate change and variability. This resilience was built on centuries of accumulated knowledge, experience, and “hikma” (wisdom), which if shared with the rest of the world would provide valuable lessons in climate change mitigation and adaptation. Today, climate change poses new challenges to Arab societies as these groups also face profound social, economic, political and cultural changes. Arab populations can respond to climate change and promote innovation by bridging useful lessons from the past with new scientific and technological developments. Furthermore, the Arab world can unleash civil society’s potential as a fundamental ingredient of climate change efforts, by creating opportunities for its participation in policy development, discussion and implementation. This accumulated wealth of knowledge, which has enriched the Arab world for centuries, is not well known globally and has had so far a limited presence in the international climate change agenda. COP18/CMP8, organized in Doha, Qatar, provides an unprecedented and unique opportunity for the Arab world to join the international efforts and discussions underway. “Hikma” hours are a series of eleven side events that form an



16

immediate action and expression of the blossoming Arab engagement in the global climate change conversation.

Title: The value of traditional knowledge for adaptation in Arab countries Traditional cultures of the world have gone through histories of climate change, and most of them have faced the challenges of variable climates, extreme weather events, water scarcity or flooding, limited productive seasons, and so on. Through interactions with such environments and accumulation of knowledge and experience, such societies have learned to adapt and have become resilient; in the current process of climate change, traditional societies have many useful lessons to offer, although the magnitude of the changes and the new social and economic conditions of today make them also more vulnerable. This event will bring cases from Jordan, Egypt, Qatar and Bahrain, about assessing the community adaptation potential and exploring the value of community practices and knowledge, and will discuss the challenges for applying traditional knowledge, and for integrating it with other modern tools and approaches for adaptation.

Title: Understanding And Responding To Climate Change Climate change is essentially a cross-cutting issue that affects ecosystems and human systems. There are of course more profound challenges in Arab countries that suffer from hyper-arid environments. Despite improvement in relevant data and information, limited understanding of certain areas such as desert’s water balance and the nature of climatic variation makes it difficult to offer solutions that properly link environmental challenges in arid and hyper arid environments to the needs for human development. This roundtable will address expected impacts of climate change on ground water, desertification and soil and water salinities. It will discuss how science can help inform

policymakers to design effective response strategies. Thu 29 Nov 13:15 - 14:45

World Initiative on Sustainable Pastoralism (WISP) Pablo Manzano Global Coordinator WISP (World Initiative for Sustainable Pastoralism) IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Nairobi, Kenya Tel: +254 711 986 596 Email: [email protected]

Title: Pastoralism and climate change The Arab world’s arid lands are mostly inhabited by pastoralists, who have livelihood strategies intrinsically adapted to climatic variations. Pastoralism profits from variable, unpredictable environments, its potential for climate change adaptation having been highlighted lately. This potential relies on preserving its core features – mobility, governance arrangements –, modern technology helping through e.g. mobile phones. But its mitigation potential has been overlooked. Rangeland soils represent 1/3 of the continents and have immense carbon storage potential, which can be radically increased through simple management practices that often involve traditional governance. This event presents current information and discusses existing constraints regarding land tenure and quantification methods.

Society for the Protection of Nature of Lebanon (SPNL) Mr Assad Serhal Email: [email protected]

Title: Hima, Agdal and other community-based systems for sustainable natural resource use in the Arab World and their contributions to climate change adaptation Arab communities practising pastoralism and other resource management for livelihoods have created and maintained for centuries a variety of practices and systems for coping with climate variability and resource scarcity, such as hima in West Asia and agdal in North Africa. They maintain and enhance the capacity of soils and vegetation to store carbon and are key adaptation strategies to climate variability and resource scarcity. This event will discuss examples of such practices and options to strengthen and improve them.

Title: Climate change and human rights: dealing with crisis and conflict The UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) adopted a resolution in 2008 expressing concern that “climate change poses an immediate and far-reaching threat to people and communities around the world and has implications for the full enjoyment of human rights”, and that “the world’s poor are especially vulnerable to the effects of climate change”. In April 2012, the UNHRC stated that “Climate change is a social, economic, environmental and political issue with profound implications for the effective enjoyment of human rights, and its impacts have serious consequences for social justice and gender equality”. Further, it has been acknowledged that lack of attention to the human rights implications of climate change will prompt conflict among human groups and will create situations of crisis and human disaster. This event will examine the human rights implications of climate change by bringing some relevant case studies from the Arab region, to highlight the importance of using a rights-based approach to frame mitigation and adaptation measures.

vulnerable communities. Climate change adaptation results from a combination of men’s and women’s roles and actions. This is reflected to some extent in international policy frameworks, but many countries in the Arab world have not yet integrated gender-differentiated measures at national and local levels of policy and practice. We hope in this event to address new aspects and quality approaches, will highlight the dimensions that have been overlooked over the years, to come up with useful and productive results which will reflect positively on women's complex & difficult circumstance condition she is currently going through, and exploring ways and means to empower women as actors in climate change responses

League of Arab States Ms. Roula Majdalani, Director, Sustainable Development and Productivity Division, UN-ESCWA; Tel: +961-71-181-595 Email: [email protected];

Title: Climate Change Vulnerability and Impact Assessment: Initiatives for Adaptation in the Arab Region The projected impacts of climate change have signaled serious consequences on water resources, agriculture, water supply and sanitation, food security, gender, eco-systems and human health in the Arab Region. To determine the extent to which these sectors may be affected by climate change, this would require the collaborative efforts to conduct of regionally-specific vulnerability assessment as well as impacts analysis on these sectors. Five initiatives will be presented: Arab Framework Action Plan on Climate Change – League of Arab States (LAS), Support to Regional and National Actions on Climate Change and the Role of the Thematic Working Group on Climate Change of the Regional Coordination Mechanism (UNEP), Regional Initiative for the Assessment of the Impact of Climate Change on Water Resources & Socio-Economic Vulnerability in the Arab Region (UN-ESCWA); Arab Climate Resilience Initiative (UNDP); and Vulnerability Assessment & Adaptation to Protect Health from Climate Change (WHO)

Title: 100 Million Arab Youth: Climate challenges and Solutions 100 Million Arab youth are part of the picture of youth unemployment, social and security challenges that our region faces. However in that narrative, climate change has not usually been recognized as one of the threats. Climate change is a threat to the 100 million Arab youth and all life on the planet. Science tells us that if we do not start reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the coming five to eight years, we would not be able to avoid catastrophic climate change impacts that could lead to the collapse of human civilization. Unfortunately, the Arab countries have so far been the only region that is ignoring the threat of climate change. The issue is not high on the political agenda, and the public is unaware of the threat to future generations. Arab leaders must fulfill their responsibilities towards future generations, by working constructively and strongly on the national and international level to achieve greenhouse gas emission reduction in the region and globally. We can’t eat or drink oil. Arab governments must put climate change as one of the top political priorities, and



19

reflect our true value of leadership that our culture demands. We have too much to lose other than oil. Arabs are more than oil. This is the key message that young Arabs will convey through this event.

Qatar National Food Security Program (QNFSP), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Mr Yakup Beris, Regional Programme Advisor, RBAS, UNDP Tel: +1-212-9066033 Email: [email protected]

Title: Understanding Water And Food Security Challenges In The Arab Region With extreme climate evens, growing populations and accelerated desertification rates, ensuring food security in a highly vulnerable region such as the Arab world is becoming ever more pressing as it jeopardize hard-won development progress. In this water-scare region, the focus on food security is interlinked to water security and its availability. This event offers an important opportunity for UNDP to highlight regional development challenges through a pre-launch of its regional water report and for QNSP to showcase progress achieved through its Global Dry Lands Initiative. The discussion emphasizes the regional and global nature of water and food insecurity and the need for international cooperation to address related challenges.

Climate change and coastal and marine areas in the Arab region Marine and coastal ecosystems provide important contributions to national and local development and are essential in particular to coastal societies. These ecosystems generate identifiable benefits on every scale. Countries from the Arab world know this too well as most of their human population have either settled in coastal areas, or used extensively marine and coastal resources, or navigated through the oceans for their trade and livelihoods. Today, however, coastal and marine ecosystems of the Arab region are under several stresses, one of them being climate change. It is expected that climate change will significantly alter the composition of marine species in some areas, by for example promoting rapid growth of populations of invasive species who can threaten many native species. In islands and low-lying coastal areas, of which there are many in Arab countries, sea level rise is a clear threat. At the same time, marine and coastal areas offer great potential for mitigation of climate change effects for example by storing carbon. Mangroves in particular have proven to be one of the most effective carbon sinks. This event will discuss impacts of climate change in coastal and marine areas of the Arab region, the mitigation potential of such areas, and how countries and communities are making efforts to adapt to the changing conditions of coasts and seas.

IV. Virtual Participation Centre COP 18/CMP 8 includes newly created virtual conference facilities, comprising a Climate Change Studio and Bloggers Area.

A. Climate Change Studio The Climate Change Studio is a recent initiative whereby selected Parties and observer organizations have the opportunity to be interviewed by a professional journalist on their observations, solutions and actions concerning climate change. All interviews will be filmed, edited and broadcast on RTCC Climate Change TV, the world's first Internet broadcaster dedicated entirely to climate change issues. Interviews will be catalogued in a fully searchable database alongside other interviews with world leaders, expert observers, decision makers and activists in the international climate change debate. The Climate Change Studio is located in the central part of Hall 4, next to the podium. Interview preference will be given to those observer organizations that did not obtain a Side event slot at COP 18/CMP 8, but other organizations as well as Parties are also invited to apply. Once your application is accepted, the content of your interview will be discussed and there will be time to meet briefly with the journalist to fine-tune the interview before shooting. The latest schedule of interviews at the Climate Change Studio can be viewed on the UNFCCC website

For more information, or to request an interview, please contact:

Mr. Marcos Montoiro [email protected]

B. Bloggers Area Introduced at COP 16/CMP 6 in Cancun, the Bloggers Area is a work area for bloggers and online communicators from the observer community. It is located in Hall 4 of the QNCC. There are around 50 work spaces, each equipped with table, chair, electrical power connection and a hard-wired Internet connection. In addition, an open wireless network is available. Bandwidth is provided off a GB backbone and can be managed to assist in uploading. Use of the Bloggers Area is prioritized for designated online communications professionals such as bloggers from approved observer organizations. Other computer centres in the conference venue are available for other participants (see the “Information for Participants” brochure). Bloggers wanting to use the Bloggers Area are requested to contact the Side Events and Exhibits Office, whose offices are located in Hall 4, and will be issued with badges accordingly
