The Climate Summits: Only Pledges and No Reviews
Published on Oct 13, 2015
Newsclick interviewed D Raghunandan of Delhi Science Forum on India’s pledge regarding climate changes negotiations in Paris. The pledge was recently revealed in the documents presented by Prakash Javadekar. The documents contain India’s pledge towards global emission control target which is 33-35 % reduction in emission by 2030. Raghu believes that the stand revealed is the final stand of the government as the cabinet has endorsed it. He argues that the rest of the document is nothing but stretching of the same proposal. He also added that though these various documents presented in climate summits by different nations proposed the two degree criteria but if one looks at the pledges, the target should be around three to 3.5 degree Celsius. Raghu mentioned that these summits were supposed to follow the pattern of making pledges and reviewing it but the latter is not being implemented.

Climate, COP21, and Paris: Behind Closed Doors
Published on Oct 1, 2015
One of the largest and most important international climate meetings is about to take place. On November 30, governments from around the world will gather at COP21 in Paris to (hopefully) finalize and agree to a deal that keeps the global temperature increase to below 2°C. The outcome in Paris could signal the future direction and ambition of global climate action. Many greet this optimism with cautionary notes, reminiscent of countries’ previous failures to secure a global deal, and muted expectations heading into COP21. There are already some hints of what we can expect in Paris, including the US, China, and other countries recent pledges to reduce emissions.
But what actually happens behind closed doors? What can COP21 achieve and what does that mean for the future governance of our climate?
This public dialogue was held on Sep 24th by Jennifer Allan, a seasoned veteran of global climate negotiations. It took place at Simon Fraser University, Harbour Centre, in Vancouver. Jennifer Allan shed light on how COP21 is organized and how the various negotiators interact. She also gave an insiders perspective on some of the stories we’re expecting to emerge as well as key countries and actors to watch.
Speaker:
Jennifer Allan
Team Leader/Writer, IISD Reporting Services, International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD)
Moderated by Michael Small, Executive Director of Carbon Talks and Renewable Cities
This event was a partnership between Carbon Talks, Renewable Cities, and the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions.
