Group1: Behavior change and its impact on delivering LCSs
Changing patterns of behaviors in contemporary society
Aim of the working group:
The objective of this working group will be to discuss the levers that can trigger
behaviour change and how best to employ them. We should aim to be able to deliver
key messages on the most effective behaviour changes in relation to dealing with futureenergy demand and use. Discussion should also identify what barriers exist in delivering
behaviour change towards more efficient energy use and what policies should be
implemented to overcome them. We should also aim to discuss what the various roles
are for key actors in modern society, including Government, businesses, individuals andorganizations. It is interesting to find relationship between post-mass production/consumption/waste age and LCSs.
It is expected that we agree on the priority of built and transport sector for behavior
change supported by appropriate regulatory frameworks and urban planning.
Key Questionsz

What are the main levers in behaviour change, what barriers need to be overcome?,and¾ What roles exist for different actors i.e. individuals, businesses, Governments,etc?
¾ What are the roles of policy options, including regulations and setting standards,
for behaviour change?
¾ In particular, how consumption patterns of the developed countries can betackled in the context of behavior change?

Group2: Delivering LCS through Sustainable Development
This group should first share understanding of different capabilities among developing
countries in terms of adaptation to and mitigation of the climate change. It should thendiscuss the similarities and differences that exist between SDPAMs (Sustainable
Development: Policy and Measures) and approaches to LCS, including both adaptationand mitigation aspects but mostly focusing on the latter. It should also look at where thestarting positions between developed and developing countries differ and how
sustainable development can deliver a pro-growth strategy whilst also addressing
climate concerns. We should aim to be able to deliver statements on what thesubstance of an SD approach to transitioning to a LCS is and what priorities need to bemade in implementing SDPAMs. This group should also consider how to mainstreamsuch an approach into development pathways.
Key Questionsz What are the differences among developing countries in terms of adapting to andmitigating the climate change?
z What are the differences between SDPAMs and LCS approaches and whatadvantages do LCS approaches provide to achieve SD?
z How approaches to LCS can be integrated into SDPAMs?

Group 3: Enabling LCSs: Investment
How to inspire innovation, driving force to make it happen
This group should discuss the need to create positive investment conditions for existingand cusp clean technologies and the policies that would facilitate doing this. It should
also look at the innovation chain and discuss what needs to be done to enhance it
globally. We aim to deliver key messages on the need to shift the expected future
investment as stated by the IEA of US$22 trillion until 2030 into clean energy solutions.
We should also aim to deliver key messages on
1. necessity of urgent shift in public and private sector investments for development
and dissemination of LC technologies,
2. the urgent need for a global carbon market and for the financing in order to underpin
the future investment in low-carbon technologies.
3. The role of government to send robust, consistent signals to private sector.
Investments by private sector are much greater than public sector, and thus very
important.
4. Early investments, avoiding “lock-in” is quite important, particularly in the energy
sector.
Key Questions
zzz

What conditions (rules, institutions, price signals) will stimulate investment forLCSs?
How do we create the necessary incentives to drive and enhance innovation?
What are the roles of the governments to make necessary investments happen?

Group 4: Barriers and opportunities: approaches to sensitive LCS sectors
Wiping out concerns, bright futures, level playing fields, impacts to industry and othersectors
This group should discuss what sectors are most sensitive and/or vulnerable in thetransition to LCS. It should discuss the barriers that exist in such sectors (such as iron& steel) and what approaches can help to overcome them. A key concern will be tocreate the conditions which will allow these sectors to take advantage of new andemerging green products and services. We can expect a discussion on competitivenessin an international approach to sectors. We should aim to deliver positive messages on
the opportunities that exist for sectors in new “green” markets and policy measures toachieve level playing fields.
Key Questionsz What sectors are most sensitive and/or vulnerable in the transition to LCS?
z What kind of inertia hinders transition to LCSs (concepts, social systems, economicsystems, infrastructure, etc)?
z What opportunities exist for such sectors in new “green” markets and what policy
measures exist to achieve international level playing fields?
