COP21 climate change summit reaches deal in Paris - Key points:
- 195 Countries are on board.
- COP 21 - the 21st session of the Conference of the Parties
The measures in the agreement included:
• To peak greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible and achieve a balance between sources and sinks of greenhouse gases in the second half of this century
• To keep global temperature increase "well below" 2C (3.6F) and to pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5C
• To review progress every five years
• $100 billion a year in climate finance for developing countries by 2020, with a commitment to further finance in the future. It also provides for setting a new collective quantified goal from a floor of $100 billion per year from the year 2025.
• In order to reach the long-term goal, countries agreed to set national targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions every five years - Next in 2020. Only developed countries are expected to slash their emissions in absolute terms; developing nations are "encouraged" to do so as their capabilities evolve over time.
• In a victory for small island nations threatened by rising seas, the agreement includes a section recognising "loss and damage" associated with climate-related disasters.
• The counties have also decided to take stock of progress achieved—carbon emissions reduced and finance provided—first in 2018 and then in 2023.
• Universal carbon market has been agreed at CoP 21 (due to which developed countries will cut even less emissions domestically).
Optimist's take : The transition to a low carbon economy is now unstoppable, ensuring the end of the fossil fuel age.
But:
- An assessment published during the two-week talks suggested that the emission reductions currently outlined in the INDCs submitted by countries would only limit global temperature rise by 2.7C
Pessimist's take :It undermines the rights of the world's most vulnerable communities and has almost nothing binding to ensure a safe and liveable climate for future generations. Historical responsibility of Annex 1 (developed countries ) countries is erased” at Paris and countries actions are now only based on their respective capabilities.
