The 02 to the 13 December 2019, the 25th United Nations Climate Change Conference COP25 took place under the presidency of the Government of Chile with the logistical support of the Spanish Government.
It began on a rather pessimistic note with regard to the major challenges to be taken up in order to ensure compliance with the Paris agreements. 2015, notably on the revision of the climate commitments of the biggest polluters. On the 196 countries represented in Madrid, hardly 40 are by their head of state or government. Experts are skeptical of a significant step forward.

"Time for action" COP25
Chilean Presidency has chosen the oceans and their roles in the fight against climate change as the main theme of COP25. The Conference was thus named “blue COP”. The slogan chosen is « Time for action » : it's time to act.
One of the “hot” topics : NDCs
Nationally determined contributions or NDCs are among the angry topics. According to the Paris Agreement, countries must present by 2020 and before COP26 in Glasgow their national plan to reduce their GHG emissions (greenhouse gas). The overall objective set by the Paris Agreement consist of reductions to remain +1.5 ° C in terms of global warming. For the moment, efforts are insufficient. Only 68 countries have joined " Climate ambition alliance "Launched by Chile at the UN summit for the climate in September 2019.

No return point

The carbon market

The subject is sensitive and thorny, Having earned intense showdown during COP24. Discussions have, By the way, not been completed. Hence the rest in Madrid. This is the last part of the rules for applying the Paris Agreement.
Funding
Industrialized countries were committed to paying 100 billions of dollars a year to help developing countries from 2020 Faced with the impacts of global warming. We are far from the account. According to the OECD report, the total amount, The maximum reached, is of 71,2 $ billion in 2017.
The United States withdraws
The United States has already announced its withdrawal from the Paris Agreement. This withdrawal will not be, However, effective lying 4 November 2020.
