Over the past three decades, Ipieca has participated in UN climate conventions - from Rio through to Paris and beyond. Ipieca supports the Paris Agreement which was reached at the 21st Conference of the Parties (COP21) and committed all countries to undertake action on climate change and report on their progress for the first time.
Ipieca attends the annual Conferences of the Parties (COPs) of the UNFCCC as an official observer and provides members with summaries of the meetings. The association also supports debate on relevant topics by hosting events alongside the conferences. Ipieca does not lobby on behalf of the industry, but aims to increase understanding and provide timely information to members and key stakeholders.
When requested, Ipieca supports pre-COP technical workshops and assessments run by subsidiary bodies of UNFCCC, providing industry technical input and sharing good practice. These workshops and assessments are critical to the success of COP events as they provide the negotiators at COP events with the scientific and technical knowledge they need to make informed and ambitious decisions to support the realisation of the Paris Agreement.
Ipieca continuously engages with the IPCC, with Asssement Report lead authors often presenting the findings of the these reporst to Ipieca members.
The Paris Puzzle: The Pathway to a low-emissions future lays out our global membership view on the challenges the world faces in transitioning to a low-greenhouse gas emissions future.
The briefing highlights the role of oil and gas in supporting a just transition, the regional complexities of a net-zero future and the need for collaboration to scale up energy transition enablers.
This publication communicates how the oil and gas industry is using partnerships to respond to challenges of meeting global energy demand and to contribute to sustainable development. The publication explores the partnering process through challenges and lessons learned identified by Ipieca members and their partners in the forty case studies featured.
A fact sheet from a series developed by Ipieca and OGP to demonstrate the oil and gas industry's present and future contribution to sustainable development. Prepared in advance of the 2012 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20). The issues that dominate the sustainable development agenda - climate change, biodiversity impacts and access to energy - are too big for individual companies to tackle alone.
