Template for non-Party stakeholders’ inputs

for the Talanoa Dialogue

Question 3 - How do we get there?

This template is meant to guide non-Party stakeholders (organization(s), coalition(s), initiative(s) and/or sector(s) etc.) in providing inputs that are relevant and impactful to the Talanoa Dialogue process. Using such the template is not mandatory, however, the High-level Champions encourage non-Party stakeholders to use such a structure to facilitate capturing and highlighting the key messages across the three questions.

How do we get there?

Ways in which the UN Climate Change process can help you achieve your vision and goals, and how your actions can help in expediting sustainable transitions to climate neutral societies [Maximum 300 words]

Talanoa Dialogues are an actualized and most interesting response by UN, to the necesity of considering programs from an integral, sistemic or holistic perspective, in order to coordinate its actions to obtain success, having transformational changes. Two scopes of its issues are currently forgotten: 1) The “spiritual” issue. As Talanoa calls for universal participation, it adresses at the same time institutions, organizatons and individuals. 2) The “time” issue. In puting together past, present and the future, Talanoa, from a conception deeply rooted in the anthropological tradition of aboriginal peoples, is the present social seed, of tomorrows global transition to low energy societies.

In an ere marked by complexity at all levels, Talanoa Dialogues are, thus, a very important and usefull maproad -in essence universal-, adressed to all stakeholders, from goverment, to the private space, to show us how establish momentum to get the goal of our compromise, not to surpass 2°C global rise of temperatures to 2030, as states the Paris Agreement.

Talanoa, makes u confident that in builiding trust, we give an enourmous step in the way to the sutentability of our organisations and its capacity to face with flexibility, innovation and participation the transition to climate neutral societies.

Concrete solutions that have been realized while implementing your commitments, including lessons learnt from success stories and challenges, and case studies that are in line with the 1.5/2 degrees’ goal and can support the Parties in achieving their NDC goals, enable higher ambition and inspire engagement of other non-state actors [Maximum 300 words]

We are just starting to implement our Regional Resilience to Climate Change Program, and so, our advances in the concrete solutions as such, are minor and just begun , notwitsanding our institutionality has acomplished very important and regular steps in regard to UNFCCC, particularly in regard with the Paris agreements and for us, the also very recent launching of the Talanoa platform signals a reason of coincidence and a good signal to work and make coherence between different levels of action and its different institutions, organizations and  people, as a very simple and refined methodology to put together, generate trust and coordinate international, national, sub-regional and local level initiatives. As you well know, the global contribution to the rise of global emisions as a whole is quite reduced (0,3%), but if we can follow this way of capacity building we will contribute in a sustantive manner to enhance the scope of our possibilities.

In that sens, it is very important to consider as an accomplishement, the call to establish from the region, a coherent framework to construct in a collaborative and active spirit sinergies between the three recent instruments launched by UN, the Sendai Framework on DRR, the SDG´s and the Paris Accord,in the local sphere, and the participation on international sites to feedback and comment our experiences.

The institutional framework for this task, is conceived, not yet communicated and far to be really operative, in the Spirit of Talanoa we will help these, to positively work together.

Collaboration models with other stakeholders and, in particular, between non-Party stakeholders, national governments and the UN Climate Change process that have been successful in helping you, or can help you, achieve your commitments [Maximum 300 words]

Surveys, Q&A, kind of Digital bulletins and communication with the contents and related developments of Talanoa Dialogues, on the basis of regularity and feedback, sent to other stakeholders, institutionally related or not, will allow us to get the help of Ministeries (and to work with them), and organize national and international workshops and Seminars, who will work in the polysemic sense of, difusion, education, organization and establishing working contacts already existant or new ones. In this sense it´s worth to say that due to our historical reality, with the growing exception of specialized government institutions like CORFO, and its related Agencies, the empresarial and  private world has been until now let aside of serious discussions about the challenges and opportunities of the coming energetic transition. We will help this to change.

Opportunities to further scale up action and means to address barriers that can enable even further action by non-Party stakeholders based on the actions you have taken to implement your commitments. (“We’ve made progress and have made new commitments as described above. This is what I need from national governments, other non-Party stakeholders and the UN Climate Change process to take even further action…”) [Maximum 200 words for each item below]:

·         Policy levers

Government institutions and focal points in charge of implementation of our National plans of Climate change, NAPA, who work in the National scale, as ministeries and at the local level, government services like CONAF, SAG, INDAP, municipalities and the private, trying to coordinate their efforts, will be our next targets, always looking to work together in a transparent and colaborative way, not to let anybody aside, in the spirit of Talanoa Dialogues.

·         Collaboration/cooperation opportunities

At the same time we work on the stated goals fixed in our Resilience program and consequently focus on the community- affected by the serious effects of Climate Change in the lands where they live: severe droughts, wild fires and water, health and related problems we have to help to fight-, we have to explore our next steps and targets, as we´ve already said, always looking to work together in a transparent and colaborative way, that do not exclude anybody, in the spirit of Talanoa Dialogues, orienting people to tell their stories freely, but learning to do it  without second thougts, without forgeting active Links with international related organisations, to feed our experiences and give feedback to enrich them

·         Lessons learned based on the experience and progress so far

Is is quite surprisingly that, in so short period of time -and through the mistakes of this sui generis emmisary, that we are-, the message of Talanoa has been received with attention and interest for all the people and institutions met. As a matter of fact, we have started to spread the methodology of Talanoa internally between the people of my organisation, and after, with their help, to other government institutions and have always find their openness and encouragement to fallow this way of enhanced ambition to better ways of living.

·         Public and private financing models

There are growing opportunities to enhance our pools of financing, particularly with the participation of the private sector in the years to come, to realize the goals of transition to low energy societies of the Paris Agreement. It´s important to say that the future of renewals, will have a great impact at the level of the people an small businness, creating a virtual circle of lowing emissions and take advantage of that, that we´ll have to explore, with the people, and taking to heart, their histories.

·         Impact on non-Party stakeholders if these actions by national level governments and the UN Climate Change process and other opportunities are implemented and how much further they could go

We have no doubt that the already stated principles, in the spirit of Talanoa Dialogues have to have a great impact on non-party stakeholders and communities. The first step to see our results, should be in 2030, where the three great Universal Action Frameworks, put in action fro UN (SDGs, Sendai RRD, APA21) and its related mecanisms and Platforms, will finish. The Talanoa Dialogues are a very good step ahead to really start, making trust, the fundational stone of empathy and common but differenciated tasks.
