COP21 : le texte final attendu aujourd’hui après une nouvelle nuit de négociations by Hôtel★★★ Restaurant gourmand Coco Lodge Majunga.
Day and night, night and day... The 21st conference on climate is no exception to the rule. "Ca is to wear., and large delegations have advantages., regrets an African negotiator, worn out. A new white night announced to representatives of 195 countries gathered at le Bourget, After the disclosure Thursday of a new draft agreement gave birth in pain. Originally planned to 15 hours, This text was finally presented as 21 hours.
If a consensus was slow to emerge, Laurent Fabius says 'confident '.. It must present this Friday its "final proposal in order to accomplish the last meters.. "A range of options has been thrown., He said. But the main political issues have not been decided : differentiation (who does what), funding (the money pledged to countries developing) and ambition (long term objective) are still debate, recognize.
The French Presidency has proposed a new method of work for this final straight. After leaving two hours of reflection to delegations, they were scheduled to meet during the night for a meeting during which he expects the presentation of solutions. The goal is no longer to listen to grievances, but to find convergences. "We know that the compromise involves inherently renouncing the ideal of each to achieve what is desirable for all., has recalled Laurent Fabius.
A first inventory in 2023
A few proposals for simplification. The French Presidency suggested to agree on a long-term goal : limiting global warming 'well below 2 ° C' and 'continue efforts to limit the temperature rise to 1.5 ° C '.. Nevertheless necessary greenhouse gas emission reduction targets have disappeared to be replaced by a more vague formula: a peak of as quickly as possible before emissions to achieve the 'neutrality' in the second part of the century.
A novelty in this formulation: developing countries could achieve their peak of issuance later. On the question of the revision of the voluntary commitments made by countries to limit their CO2 emissions, the text provides a first inventory in 2023. Then an ambitions upward revision every five years from 2025. The least developed countries would be exempt from this exercise for the moment.
"A blow of poker of the French Presidency.
With regard to funding, It is recognized that developed countries should meet their minimum commitment 100 annual billion promised to developing countries. Others may provide assistance, but on the basis of volunteering. No key is contained in the draft agreement between the intended emission reduction or adaptation to the consequences of global warming.
"The account is not completely"., declared the Nicolas Hulot Foundation, summarizing : a few ambitious proposals but much in regression. More enthusiastic, climate action network mentions a "coup de poker of the French Presidency" with a text "rather ambitious.: This forced the country to take a position for or against."
