I guess, this is the best thread for this, so I'm adding this here -
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.
How has historical responsibility been erased? Developing countries are only encouraged to reduce emissions right? Doesn't it mean that the principle of common but differentiated responsibility still holds good?
