Background COP21
France will chair and host the 21st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP21/CMP11), taking place from 30 November to
11 December 2015 in Paris.
a) COP21 objectives
COP21 is predicted to be landmark conference in development of international climate
policy. The UN climate (UNFCCC) Conference process is working towards
The world’s first universal agreement
Committing all countries
Keeping global warming below 2°C
To achieve this, the future agreement is aimed to include equally mitigation (greenhouse gas
emissions reductions) and adaptation efforts to climate change, taking into account the needs
and capacities of each country.
b) Paris Climate Alliance – Four pillars
The Paris climate negotiations will not only produce a new universal agreement (―ADP
work stream 1 and 2‖). In order to fulfil the objective of a 1.5-2°C world, the Paris Climate
Alliance was created and is composed of four pillars:
Source: Government of France
5
Pillar 1: A New Universal Agreement and pre-2020 Ambition – “top down actions”
Ministers and heads of state from around the world will gather in Paris in December to seek
agreement on
a protocol, another legal instrument or an agreed outcome with legal force under the
Convention applicable to all Parties to take effect and be implemented from 2020
(“ADP Workstream 1 - the 2015 agreement”).
a workplan on enhancing mitigation ambition to identify and explore options for a
range of actions that can close the ambition gap pre-2020
(“ADP Workstream 2: pre-2020 ambition”).
Pillar 2: Country Contributions – Intended National Determined Contributions (“INDCs”)
– “bottom up actions”
As part of the negotiation process, 164 countries (as of 18 November 2015) have
communicated their pledges to the UNFCCC outlining their intended post-2020 climate actions
– the so called ―INDCs‖. The INDCs will determine largely if the world achieves a 2015
agreement enabling a low-carbon, climate-resilient future.
The UNFCCC secretariat has published a synthesis report of these contributions to give an
indication of the cumulative impact of these national adaptation and emissions reductions
efforts. The pledges represent around 90% of the world’s carbon emissions. While these are, so
far, not ambitious enough to keep global warming below 2°C compared to pre-industrial times,
these pledges could be adjusted in the coming years to reach the 2°C target.

Institute, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research)
WRI INDCs analysis
Pillar 3: Mobilization of Finance
A key objective of COP21 is the mobilization of US$100 billion per year by developed countries
beginning in 2020 from public and private sources. During the 2009 COP in Copenhagen, this
commitment was made with the aim to enable developing countries to combat climate change.
Some of this financing will pass through the Green Climate Fund (GCF), which currently has
US$10.2 billion in capital. COP21 also aims to send a policy signal to economic and financial
stakeholders to redirect their investments for the transition to low carbon, and resilient
economies. To go from US$10.2 billion to US$100 billion – and beyond – will depend largely on
the mobilization of private investments.
6
Pillar 4: The Action Agenda
The Action Agenda is being steered by the Lima-Paris Action Agenda (LPAA), which is
composed of four partners:
French COP21 Presidency
Peruvian COP21 Presidency
Office of the UN Secretary-General
UN Climate Change Secretariat
The aim of the Lima-Paris Action Agenda is to facilitate action and cooperation between
governments and non-state actors to "do more, faster, now" by increasing the ambition over
the period 2015-2020 and beyond.
Since the New York Climate Summit of September 2014, there has been a growing trend
towards concrete action, exchange of best practices and knowledge transfer. Many initiatives
are currently being developed by a range of non-governmental stakeholders: cities, regions,
businesses, associations. These initiatives will supplement States’ commitments, raise awareness
of economic and social opportunities, and thus help to strengthen individual ambitions.
Business participation in the LPAA
There are three principle ways in which business can engage:
- Cooperative action – joining partnerships and cooperative initiatives
- Individual action – setting company targets
- Public policy action – advocating to governments to develop public climate policies
which encourage emissions reductions
Business can take part in eight thematic areas, complemented by four transversal,
actors-oriented action areas:
Business can also publish their climate commitments by registering in the UN climate
action portal, NAZCA.
7
During COP21, some climate actions will be showcased at the
- High level Action Day and
- Series of thematic half-day sessions inside the UN negotiations zone
Businesses are also invited to
- Attend COP21 as observer
- Organize and participate in side events in the blue UN zone and the green Climate
Generations area
- Promote technological solutions at ―the Gallery‖ – brown zone

Practical information COP21
Overview COP21 UN conference venues
c) Expectation COP21
The signals are that a new global agreement – though it may be less ambitious – will be
reached at the UN climate conference (―COP21‖) in Paris.
This agreement, combined with national pledges and voluntary actions, will likely accelerate
low-carbon transitions and national legislations, and give confidence to further countries,
businesses, and civil society to act and review their commitment.
d) The road to Paris and beyond
The COP21 treaty will not be an end, but the start of a process. The outcome text will serve
as a basis for implementation. There will be substantial work to be completed until 2020 to
develop the new global climate architecture.
8
Business and COP21
a) Is COP21 important for business?
This new climate treaty is important to business on many levels: it will have an influence on
Financing and investment, energy access and security, market mechanisms, technology, IPR,
agriculture, and governance.
The future of international commerce, with impacts on international and national
regulations, market access and investment.
b) Key business topics
The Paris agreement is intended to be a long-term and durable accord. It will be in operation
for a decade or more. The climate framework resulting from COP21 should be one that reflects
and works with market and economic forces. Open markets and enabling conditions for trade
will help accelerate the pace of climate action. Barriers to trade will slow the pace of climate
action and make it more expensive for companies and society.
In order for the private sector to unleash the innovation and investments needed for global
action on climate change, the UN climate agreement should provide:
Commitments and transparency
The climate agreement to be signed in Paris needs to build a reliable international accounting
and reporting framework (monitoring, reporting and verification) to establish systemic integrity,
promote transparency, and avoid double counting to provide the basis for confidence in
international markets and for compliance with country commitments.
Enabling conditions for trade and Investment
Trade, technological innovation, commercial transaction, and financial mechanisms will be
critical to moving toward low-carbon economies and societies – the Paris outcomes should:
Work in synergy with related regimes (e.g. WTO).
Ensure enabling frameworks for technology development and deployment.
Build on experience with existing market mechanisms and establish new market-based
instruments, including e.g. economic incentives and carbon pricing mechanisms. All
markets are important.
Establish supporting financial mechanisms needed to leverage private sector finance and
investment and ensure adequate risk/return to redirect investment towards low carbon
assets, including through financial institutions.
9
Business engagement
To reach economy-wide transformational change, all actors of society need to work together.
Private sector innovation, investment and expertise will be some of the key elements to achieve
this transition. Business can be a resource for both governments and the process on the
national and international level to inform policy deliberations, share practical expertise and
technical advice, and be a powerful vehicle for complementary practical action and initiatives.
In this context, business’ role should be recognized and anchored in the new climate
agreement.
c) Business actions (see voluntary actions, page 20)
10
d) ICC COP21 vision: Innovation – Collaboration – Smart Regulation
Many businesses are already innovating and implementing their solutions and are keen to
further deploy these in all their diversity to:
lower greenhouse gas emissions
use resources more efficiently
plan for, build-in, and share good practices on adaptation and resilience
invest and undertake research and development into climate-friendly technologies,
products and services
engage and communicate with the public on climate change
With supporting policy and market frameworks in place, business can go faster and further.
To scale up these solutions, enhanced collaboration between business, public-private, and
multi-stakeholder is needed, underpinned by smart regulation.
ICC and its members and global network stand ready to work with governments and all actors
to successfully tackle climate change and promote sustainable and inclusive growth.
ICC has also been the business focal point for the UNFCCC negotiations since their inception
and coordinates the official UN Business and Industry NGO Day.

Business and Industry (BINGO) Major Group – how is business organized at
COP21?
Who is ―Business and Industry‖ (BINGOs)?
Business is a ―recognized constituency‖ or ―major group‖
Wide range of groups (members, organizations) and objectives
We are observing NOT negotiating
Organizations speak for their members
―Business and industry‖ develops joint statements for official COP21 major group
interventions
What is a ―Major Group‖?
The Major Groups format ensures the participation of non-state actors at COP21 is outlined in
Agenda 21. There are several official entry points for Major Groups to speak at COP21,
including statements delivered during the opening, closing, sub-bodies, and high-level session
of the Conference (see the UNFCCC overview schedule here). All of these speaking slots are
coordinated by the UNFCCC in consultation with the Major Groups organizing partners. The
Business and Industry constituency (―BINGO‖) has also the opportunity to organize a BINGO
Day on 4 December. ICC is the Business and Industry focal point.
What is the role of the official major group business and industry coordinator?
Statement coordination for Conference (drafting, circulating, speakers);
In contact with UNFCCC Secretariat, ensuring flow of information;
Organization of access to premises if access is limited;
Coordinate the Business and Industry (BINGO) Day on 4 December;

ICC – How is ICC working towards COP21? How can you participate?
ICC's engagement towards the COP21 Conference has been channelled via the ICC
Environment and Energy Commission. The Commission is developing policy recommendations
and shares good practices which serve as the principal business input into COP21.
In addition, ICC is linking its climate work across ICC national committees and its global
network in 130 countries with the full range of its policy work including intellectual property,
transport, trade and investment, taxation, G20, as well as practical business facilitation tools
(e.g. model contract on international transfer of technology) and action platforms (e.g. ICC
World Chambers Congress).
ICC
Co-organized the Business and Climate Summit (20-21 May 2015), which provided a unique
forum for over 2,000 business and government leaders to demonstrate bold action, adopt
forward-looking strategies and call for ambitious policies, allowing us to scale up solutions.
Supported and participated in the COP21 Business Dialogues group of business leaders to
contribute to the climate negotiation debates at COP21.
Held several public-private partnerships, dialogues, and workshops. The graphic below
shows some examples.
13
Throughout COP21, ICC will be hosting a range of briefings and events, including the official
COP21 Business Day on 4 December as well as daily ―BINGO‖ sessions. We provide a unique
platform for business to engage throughout the two-week Conference and offer bespoke
support services for ICC members.

Ten useful acronyms for COP21
ADP
Ad Hoc Working Group on the Durban Platform for Enhanced Action
The mandate of the ADP is to develop a protocol, a legal instrument or an agreed outcome
with legal force under the Convention applicable to all Parties. This should be completed no
later than 2015 in order to be adopted at the 21st session of the Conference of the Parties
(COP) in Paris, and be fully implemented by 2020.
BINGO
Business and Industry Non-Governmental Organizations
Since the early days of the UNFCCC, non-governmental organizations have been actively
involved, attending sessions and exchanging views with other participants, including
government negotiators and delegates. BINGO represents the voice of business and industry
NGOs. ICC has acted as the BINGO focal point since the very beginning of the UNFCCC.
CMP (see also Kyoto Protocol)
Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol
The first CMP was held in Montreal, Canada, in 2005. The event, one of the largest-ever
intergovernmental conferences on climate change, marked the entry into force of the Kyoto
Protocol.
COP - Conference of the Parties
As with any other international Convention, the Conference of the Parties (COP) is its governing
body – in this case of the UNFCCC, and is composed of governments of countries that have
accepted, ratified or acceded to it. The implementation of the Convention is advanced through
the decisions it takes at its annual meetings.
Kyoto Protocol (see also CMP)
At COP 3, the prominent Kyoto protocol was adopted, the first international treaty whose aim
was to lower emissions of greenhouse gases. It was signed in 1997 and became active in 2005
after its ratification by 55 industrialized countries representing in 1990, 50% of global CO2
emissions. In short, the Kyoto Protocol is what ―operationalizes‖ the UNFCCC. The Protocol's
first commitment period started in 2008 and ended in 2012. The second commitment period
started in 2013 and will end in 2020. The second commitment period is expected to have only a
modest effect in limiting climate change.
18
CTCN / TEC
Climate Technology Centre and Network , and Technology Executive Committee
The Technology Mechanism was established to promote environmentally sound technology
and transfer. It includes two main branches: the Technology Executive Committee and the
Climate Technology Centre and Network.
GCF – Green Climate Fund
This fund aims to support projects, programmes, policies and other activities in developing
country Parties.
INDC - Intended Nationally Determined Contribution
At the 19th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 19) in Warsaw, Parties agreed to
make a national pledge of public climate actions they intend to take. These actions are referred
to as INDCs.
IPCC
International Panel on Climate Change
The IPCC is the leading international body for the assessment of climate change. It was
established in 1988 to provide a clear scientific view and outline of current knowledge of
climate change and its impacts. Based on IPCC assessments, international climate negotiations
have—for around a decade—revolved around a single overarching target: to limit the rise in
average global surface temperature to 2°C (3.6°F).
UNFCCC
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is the main treaty on
climate. It recognizes the human origin of the current climate change and the main historical
responsibility for it by the industrialized countries in the past. This Convention is a ―Rio
Convention‖, one of the three adopted at the ―Rio Earth Summit‖ in 1992, and was activated on
21 March 1994 after ratification by 196 parties (195 States and 1 regional economic integration
organization). It sets out a framework for action aimed at reducing global emissions and
preventing more severe effects of climate change.
