On 14 November, SDG Advocates Jeffrey Sachs and Paul Polman delivered keynote speeches during the opening session of the Low-Emissions Solutions Conference (LESC). Held in Marrakech on the sidelines of the 22nd session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 22) to the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµFCCC, the conference featured panel discussions regarding national and regional low-carbon solutions. The sessions addressed mid-century strategies for deep decarbonization at continental, national, and subnational scales, asking the question ¡°What does it mean to create a mid-century that incorporates global emission trajectories out to 2050?¡±
The key outcomes of the conference are expected to feed into the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµFCCC¡¯s Global Climate Action Agenda.
