The Low-Emissions Solutions Conference (LESC) is aimed at problem solving and brainstorming to inform nations of advances in low emission technologies.
We're kicking off day 2 of the Low-Emissions Solutions Conference at #COP25 in a few minutes! Not able to join us in #Madrid? Watch online -> https://t.co/Gf7lnnuZ8Z
Getting to net-zero emissions has an impact on nearly all #SDGs, including #climate action. Click on the link below to see how @the_idb is looking to Latin America and the Caribbean for reaching net-zero emissions.

Dr. @JohnDernbach is switching things up and focusing on integrating legal and policy tools for a net zero future. “Law is similar to engineering in that you can’t just throw a law at the problem, you have to design it with care.” @itdupm@La_UPM#SystemsTransformation
“In SE Asia emissions are growing faster than anywhere in the world. And the region is quite vulnerable so they’re most at risk to climate change.” - @MegArgyr, Head of Int’l Programs @ClimateWorksAus. She’s focusing today on the economic benefits of low-carbon growth. #COP25
“A world with zero net emission is an economic opportunity, not necessarily and economic loss.” - @AmaleeAmin, Climate Change Chief @the_IDB. Dr. Amin presents lessons learned from #LatinAmerica and the #Caribbean. #SystemsTransformation
We’re back from our coffee break for our final panel: Systems Approach and Sector Coupling. No single policy can address the complex socio-economic-physical systems needed to act on climate change. Our speakers represent entities that must consider a #systems approach.
“We need to track progress of countries’ climate commitments or else it will turn into green washing.” - Matthew Phillips who is the Reporting & Tracking Team Lead for the @UNFCCC Global Climate Action Portal. View the portal here 👉

Mark Lewis, Global Head of Sust. Research @BNPPAM_COM gives an overview of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (@FSB_TCFD): “TCFD provides transparency & clarity to investors on what’s needed in an increasingly carbon constrained world.” #SystemsTransformation
Una clase diferente ➡ Organización de Sistemas Productivos @industrialesupm discutiendo sobre Cadenas de Suministro Globales y los retos de la descarbonización. #systemsTransformation con @reds_sdsn "Defining Metrics: Ensuring Impact for Sustainable Development"
“There isn’t one single framework for C02 accounting in the transport sector and many other sectors which is problemsome for end users.” - Suzanne Green of @MITSloanSusty. She presents initiatives changing this in the logistics and #mining sectors.
Perrine Toledano, Head of Extractive Industries at @CCSI_Columbia introduces our first panel, “Defining Metrics: Ensuring Impact fo Sustainable Development.” We’re discussing key metrics needed to properly plan for the energy transition & #SDG achievement. #SystemsTransformation
We start the day with a welcome from UPM Vice Rector @garrido1964, “UPM pledges a serious commitment, pulling together engineers, architects, & biosciences to advance the agenda to reduce emissions.” #LESC is honored to be hosted by @La_UPM & @itdupm! #SystemsTransformation
