Paris Agreement onParis Agreement • January 27th, 2016
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was negotiated at the Earth Summit in 1992. The ultimate objective of the convention is to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. The convention itself did not set any binding targets on greenhouse gas emissions for individual countries and contains no enforcement mechanisms. In 1997, the Parties to the convention adopted the Kyoto Protocol, which is legally binding in nature with obligations for developed countries. It was designed to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions recognizing that developed countries were the principal emitters and historically responsible for the cause of climate change. The protocol entered into force in 2005 and its first commitment period was from 2005 to 2012. During this commit- ment period, 37 industrialized countries and the European Community committed to reduce GHG emissions to

The Paris Agreement: A Multiple Streams ApproachParis Agreement • June 23rd, 2021
The Trump administration’s decision to withdraw from the Paris agreement was perceived as a blow for the environmental movement. The decision to withdraw was justified by the Trump administration on the premise that it would protect US jobs and its economy. In the span of eight years the US went from extensively regulating the fossil-fuel industry to deregulating and withdrawing from the most comprehensive international climate agreement. This drastic policy change will be explored in this thesis. More specifically, the factors that contributed to the decision to withdraw from the Paris agreement by the Trump administration. By using Kingdon’s (1995) Multiple Streams Framework, it will explore how the problem, political and policy stream contributed to this decision to withdraw. Furthermore, the role of the politicisation of the policy advisory systems will be explored in the policy stream. Every stream has different indicators/concepts which will be analysed. In doing so, it will stri
Paris Agreement Compatible Scenarios for Energy InfrastructureParis Agreement • February 17th, 2021
The transformation of the energy system has an impact on all areas of human life. In addition to personal energy consumption and mobility, natural resources, landscape, flora and fauna are also affected. Therefore, the goal of the PAC Project was to provide a platform for a deeper exchange of civil society and energy system experts from industry and academia to think about an energy system for the future and the consequences of choices and preferences. In doing so, it has brought the quality of cross-sectoral engagement, for which the Renewables Grid Initiative stands, to new heights. Thanks to intense debates and exchange amongst the broad NGO community and with experts from the energy sector and academia, all sides could gain many new insights and expand their knowledge.

Nigeria is a lower-middle-income African country whose development vision is that by 2020 the country has a large, strong, diversified, sustainable and competitive economy and is using its natural resources and addressing climate change responsibly. Poor energy access, food insecurity, and unemployment are significant development constraints to Nigeria exacerbated by the fact that the country is highly vulnerable to climate change.
THE PARIS AGREEMENT IS A DECISIVE STEP IN ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE; STILL MUCH REMAINS TO BE DONEParis Agreement • January 13th, 2016
The Paris Agreement sets a turning point in the history of negotiations on climate change in several ways. First of all, it’s the most comprehensive, universal and balanced agreement ever signed in the 23 years in which this issue has been a part of the international agenda. It stipulates that all countries, without distin- ction, determine their national determined contributions and commit to making and reporting their efforts regarding emissions reduction, which must be ambitious, but always according each of their capabilities. It also determines mechanisms for transparency and accountability to verify commitments not only in terms of reducing emissions and adaptation efforts, but also support in terms of financing, technology transfer and capacity development. The Agreement is flexible and contemplates periodic reviewing processes at least every five years in order to increase the level of commitments. It also seeks to be fair, as it’s built on the principle of ¸common but differen

Asian countries still rely on fossil fuels, the clear articulation in their NDCs to either undertake absolute emission reductions from business-as-usual levels (e.g. Bangladesh, Bhutan, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Philippines, Tajikistan, Thailand, and Viet Nam), reduce emission intensity of growth (e.g. People’s Republic of China [PRC], India, and Malaysia), increase the share of renewable energy in the energy mix (e.g. PRC, India, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, and Papua New Guinea), or improve forest cover (e.g. Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Sri Lanka) are indicative of their resolve to bend their national emissions curves in the right direction.

The Paris Agreement gave the world hope that through individual and collective leadership, humanity can effectively address the climate change challenge. The Agreement also provided a clear sense of direction and an approach to tackle the key issues: long-term temperature and emissions objectives; formal acknowledgment of the gap between our current efforts and these objectives; and mechanisms to close the gap. The many extreme climatic events this year highlight the urgency of the task at hand.

A large part of Morocco’s population, especially the rural and female population, is dependent on ecosystem services related to water, biodiversity, agriculture, and forestry. Climate change induced impacts and variabilities pose a major challenge to the country, hence Morocco has actively pursued various initiatives and programmes to transition towards a low carbon and sustainable economy. To support this vision, the INDC Project provided assistance to strengthen national capacities to prepare, communicate, and implement its NDC. through which Morocco was able to prepare its INDC in less than five months and to be the second African country, and 11th country in the world, to submit its INDC.
What the Paris Agreement Means Legally for Fossil FuelsParis Agreement • May 5th, 2020
The Paris Agreement on climate change reached on December 12, 2015 has a heavily negotiated sentence that, when closely read, seems to call for the virtual end of fossil fuel use in this century unless there are major advances in carbon sequestration or air capture technology. That, in turn, has important legal implications.

The Republic of Solomon Islands consists of an archipelago of more than 900 small islands, home to over 600,000 inhabitants. Solomon Islands, classified as both a least developed country (LDC) and small island developing state (SIDS), is highly vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change. Though the country contributes minimally to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the government has demonstrated willingness to address equally climate mitigation and adaptation as part of global climate action. To support this ambition, the INDC Project provided technical support, facilitated multi-stakeholder engagement, and strengthened capacities for NDC implementation.

The Paris Agreement (PA) which is a Multilateral Environmental Agreement (MEA) under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) aims to strengthen the global response to climate change threats, in the context of sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty. The PA underpins the principle of Common But Differentiated Responsibilities (CBDR) that binds all Parties to share the common obligation to address environmental destruction but denies equal responsibility of all states with regard to environmental protection, since developed countries would have an unfair economic advantage as they do not face the same restrictions like developing countries. All Parties are required to implement and report on their mitigation, adaptation, voluntary cooperation and Communication, Education and Public Awareness (CEPA) efforts to UNFCCC. The additional obligation for developed countries include providing financial support and developing transparency framework in as

Trinidad and Tobago is a small island developing state (SIDS), considered as the most industrialized economy in the English-speaking Caribbean. Oil and gas is the leading economic sector and accounts for 40% of its GDP and 80% of its exports; yet, the island accounts for less than 1% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Nevertheless, the island suffers the common SIDS vulnerabilities, as well as facing additional increased potential of experiencing tropical storms despite not being in the main Atlantic hurricane belt. The government of Trinidad and Tobago recognized its responsibilities as a fossil-fuel based economy and is committed to playing its part within the global efforts, by installing a policy framework for a low carbon development plan through the National Climate Change Policy (NCCP), and developing a Carbon Reduction Strategy (CRS) for the power generation, transportation and industrial sectors, all three of which are included in its INDC, which considers only mitigati
