标准2025联合国气候变化框架公约（UNFCCC）缔约方第二十二次大会（COP22）已于2016年11月7日至18日在摩洛哥马拉喀什举行。
公司、组织、投资者以及国家和地方政府均承诺实施2015年12月签署的《巴黎气候协议》。在新的国际标准指导下，实现创新驱动，加快协议实施，对开展气候相关行动及公共和私营部门合作创造良性循环将至关重要。
一、 符合ISO标准的普适性创新解决方案
许多与气候变化相关的ISO标准有助于降低全球能源消耗，同时促进使用清洁和可再生能源。
许多公司、组织和地方政府已经根据国际标准制定解决方案。事实上，2015年的ISO调查显示，全球各部门共颁发了约12000份ISO 50001能源管理体系认证证书和超过30万份ISO 14001环境管理体系认证证书。
ISO提供的一套国际标准已成为控制温室气体（GHG）排放以及帮助组织上报温室气体排放或减排情况的国际标杆，以满足相应的国家监管要求，参与碳排放交易市场或证明组织承诺的企业社会责任。
这些标准是帮助组织减轻环境影响的重要工具，如ISO 14064系列标准包含温室气体排放量化，报告和核实三部分。
此外，目前正在制定的ISO 14080标准将为参与气候行动的组织提供一致的、可比的和完善的方法框架，为有效缓解行动和适应活动提供指导，同时提高气候融资和其他资源的可用性。
减少温室气体排放、减轻空气污染对人体健康将产生积极影响。例如，许多国家仍在使用固体燃料（木材、煤炭等）在不达标的炉灶上烹饪食材，这些炉灶排放出的有毒烟雾可导致严重的呼吸系统疾病，对妇女和幼儿的伤害尤其严重。使用这类炉灶还会破坏当地森林等自然资源，加剧区域和全球范围内的气候变化。
据观察，ISO / TC 285——清洁炉灶和清洁烹饪解决方案技术委员会已经开始制定一套评估炉灶性能的指南。
ISO代理秘书长凯文.麦克金里（Kevin McKinley）说：“这些标准在制定具体行动和实施可持续发展目标方面发挥了重要作用。它们适用于所有组织，不论大型集团还是中小型企业，发达国家还是发展中国家的地方当局，同时也是薄弱小国的机会来源。这些标准为有效实施行动提供了解决方案。”
二、ISO与全球环境信息研究中心（CDP）和欧盟“气候变化减缓与适应”知识与创新团体（Climate-KIC）举行联合周边会议
大会期间举办了多场周边会议，进一步讨论和展示各种实践工具。
11月12日，ISO及其合作伙伴CDP Worldwide和Climate-KIC将联合举办一场主题为“解锁雄心：非政党利益相关者如何为低碳转型做出贡献”的周边会议。
会议的发言人有迈克尔.托马斯.鲍曼（Michael Thomas Baumann）先生、Shirin Reuvers女士和Andrea Karpati女士，他们将分别代表ISO，CDP Worldwide和Climate-KIC介绍各自组织的倡议活动并分享最佳实践经验。
11月11日举行的周边会议使整个气候融资社区的发言人欢聚一堂，共同讨论实践经验和近期为协调气候融资标准实施的一些举措。
包括气候变化框架公约秘书处、气候融资全球创新实验室、联合国环境规划署金融机构（UNEP FI）、CDP和ISO在内的几个知名组织的代表，他们非常支持会上提议的气候融资新标准。
根据《巴黎气候协议》，劳伦斯. 图比娅娜（Laurence Tubiana）女士被任命为“绿色大使”，她将于两场周边会议上发言。
标准：摩洛哥的重要工具
根据摩洛哥王国提出的“行动、创新和解决方案分享会议”，缔约方第二十二届大会必须通过承诺2020年及以后的决定来协助执行《巴黎气候协定》中所有缔约方为应对气候变化而通过的决定。非洲国家对气候改善的贡献不大，这些国家也因此遭受相应的气候后果。
ISO成员摩洛哥标准化协会（IMANOR）的负责人Abderrahim Taibi解释说：“IMANOR意识到了标准对于经济发展的重要性，标准提出的解决方案可减轻技术发展对气候和环境的广泛影响——特别对非洲而言，其缺乏实践工具来保护自身免受气候演变的影响。摩洛哥作为国际标准界的代表，IMANOR鼓励非洲国家同行抓住这些国际会议提供的机会。此次会议展示了组织将如何使用标准来促进可持续发展，以及标准的一致性和包容性将如何确保这些国际会议达成的公约和协议中能考虑到非洲的特殊情况。
他还补充说：“这同时也为IMANOR提供了机会，证明自己愿意向非洲标准机构及其公共和私人合作伙伴分享合作项目中获得的关于可持续发展标准的专业知识，这些项目由ISO领导，针对中东和北非地区国家。我在这里特别强调的是与企业社会责任以及能源、水和环境有关的项目。将可持续发展领域标准化相关的知识和经验汇集，可使非洲国家更加迅速地反应并及时采取行动。”
IMANOR将出席缔约方第二十二届大会，其展台设在摩洛哥工业和商业部展馆中，该部门在会议中将监督各组织。会议将展示可持续发展标准相关的影片和幻灯片。IMANOR还将就可持续发展领域以及ISO 14001，ISO 50001和ISO 26000标准两个专题介绍摩洛哥国际标准化问题。IMANOR还将作为会议小组成员参加蓝区的周边会议，该会议由摩洛哥企业总联合会（CGEM）组织，将围绕企业社会责任（CSR）对非洲的重要性展开讨论，旨在探讨所面临的困难和机遇，以协调非洲企业和机构间的企业社会责任行动。
在马拉喀什举行的会议上，各国政府将努力制定并落实相关举措，争取在2030年落实可持续发展议程并加快向绿色经济过渡的进程。为了实现这一长期目标，非政府组织（私营部门、金融机构等）也要参与其中，他们需要国际标准等工具来支持自身的相关策略和行动。
ISO standards lead action for COP22
The 22nd Conference of Parties (COP22) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will take place in Marrakech, Morocco, from 7 to 18 November 2016.
Companies, organizations, investors and governments at the local and national levels have committed to implementing the Paris Climate Agreement, concluded in December 2015. To expedite its application and create a virtuous circle for climate-related action, public- and private-sector collaboration, guided by new International Standards and driven by innovation, will be essential.
Innovative solutions for all with ISO standards
Many ISO standards related to climate change help to reduce global energy consumption and increase the use of clean and renewable energy sources.
A number of companies, organizations and local authorities are already working to develop solutions based on International Standards. In fact, the 2015 ISO Survey reported around 12 000 certificates issued to ISO 50001 on energy management systems and more than 300 000 certificates to ISO 14001 on environmental management systems, across all sectors worldwide.
ISO offers a set of International Standards which have become the international benchmark in terms of managing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and helping organizations to report their GHG emissions or reductions in order to comply with applicable national regulatory requirements, participate in the carbon emissions trading market or demonstrate their commitment to corporate social responsibility.
These standards are essential tools to help organizations mitigate their impact on the environment, such as the three-part ISO 14064 series on the quantification, reporting and verification of GHG emissions.
In addition, the future ISO 14080, which is currently under development, will give organizations involved in climate action a framework for the development of consistent, comparable and improved methodologies that provide guidance for effective mitigation and adaptation activities, and also improve access to, and availability of, climate finance and other resources.
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution will also impact positively on population health. For example, in many countries, food is still cooked using solid fuels (wood, coal, etc.) on inadequate cookstoves that emit toxic fumes, leading to serious respiratory disorders, especially in women and young children. Use of this type of stove also impacts local natural resources, such as forests, and contributes to climate change on a regional and global scale.
In light of these observations, technical committee ISO/TC 285, Clean cookstoves and clean cooking solutions, has begun work on a set of guidelines for the evaluation of cookstove performance.
“Standards play a significant role in the development of concrete actions and the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. They are applicable to all organizations, from large groups to SMEs, to local authorities, in developed and developing countries, and are a source of opportunity for the smallest and weakest countries. They constitute solutions for implementing actions effectively,” states Kevin McKinley, Acting Secretary-General of ISO.
ISO, CDP and Climate-KIC joint side events
Various side events are organized alongside COP22, to foster wider discussion and present practical tools.
On 12 November, ISO and its partners, CDP Worldwide and Climate-KIC, will hold a side event on the theme “Unlocking ambition: How non-party stakeholders are contributing to the low-carbon transition”.
The speakers, Mr Michael Thomas Baumann for ISO, Ms Shirin Reuvers for CDP Worldwide and Ms Andrea Karpati for the Association Climate-KIC, will present their initiatives and share best practices.
Joint side event : 12 November 11:30 to 13:00 in Observer Room 8 (Arabian Room)
A “mini side event” will also be held on 11 November. It will bring together speakers from the entire climate finance community to discuss best practices and the recent initiatives taken to harmonize such practices in climate finance standards.
These representatives from several high-profile organizations, including the UNFCCC Secretariat, the Global Innovation Lab for Climate Finance, UNEP FI, CDP and ISO, strongly support the proposed new ISO standard for climate finance.
Mini side event: 11 November 11:00 to 12:00 in the Climate Change Hall
Laurence Tubiana, who was appointed “Climate Champion” following the Paris Climate Agreement, will also speak at these two side events.
Standards: vital tools for Morocco
Presented by the Kingdom of Morocco as “a conference for action, innovation and sharing of solutions”, COP22 must help implement the decisions adopted by all parties at the Paris Climate Agreement to combat climate change, by defining their commitments for 2020 and beyond. African countries have contributed little to climate change, but they are suffering the consequences.
Abderrahim Taibi, Director of IMANOR, the Moroccan Standards Institute and ISO member for the country, explains: “IMANOR is conscious of the importance of standards to economic development, and the solutions they offer in terms of mitigating the effects of technological development on the climate and the environment in a broad sense – particularly in Africa, which does not have the tools to protect it from the negative effects of this evolution. As Morocco’s representative in the International Standards community, IMANOR encourages its counterparts in African countries to seize the opportunities offered by these international meetings. This demonstrates how standards can be used to advance sustainable development and how their consensual and inclusive nature can ensure that the characteristics specific to Africa are taken into account in the conventions and agreements arising from these international meetings.”
He further adds: “This is also an opportunity for IMANOR to confirm its willingness to make available to African standards bodies, and their public and private partners, all the expertise it has acquired on sustainable development standards in the context of cooperation projects led by ISO for countries in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region. I refer, in particular, to projects relating to corporate social responsibility and to energy, water and the environment. The pooling of knowledge and experience related to standardization in the field of sustainable development should enable African countries to act and react rather more quickly than they do today.”
IMANOR will be present at COP22 with a stand located in the pavilion of the Moroccan Ministry of Industry and Commerce, which oversees the Institute. Films and slides on sustainability standards will be shown throughout the event. The IMANOR stand will also feature two presentations on Moroccan and international standardization in the area of sustainable development as well as on standards ISO 14001, ISO 50001 and ISO 26000. IMANOR will also be attending as a panellist at a side event in the Blue Zone, organized by the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises (CGEM), on the importance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) for Africa. The objective is to identify difficulties and opportunities in order to coordinate CSR actions among African enterprises and institutions.
At the Marrakesh conference, governments will work on defining measures to be put in place with a view to achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and accelerating the transition to a green economy. To achieve this long-term goal, alongside the non-governmental players (private sector, financial institutions, etc.), they will need tools such as International Standards to support their strategies and actions.
