Critical readWhat happened. The Climate Agreement: A Failed Attempt At Stability
The Department of Environmental Policy and Ecoloterra's Trattative on Climate Change have been a form of game, with parties seeking to avoid the central issue: the specific plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Chinese representatives, one of the main contributors to climate change, refused to discuss these programs, considering them 'the responsibility of the United States'. This decision has led to the conclusion of the Belém summit without any significant agreement.
The fundamental goal of the Paris Agreement was partially achieved: global temperatures have been limited to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, but the world continues to exceed these thresholds. The latest news from UN indicates that the most optimistic predictions are now projected for a temperature rise of around 1.7-1.8°C. The core issue is the lack of clear objectives and measurement concepts by the involved parties.
This negotiation process is divided in such a way that it is difficult to find effective solutions. The Department of Environmental Policy and Ecoloterra has pointed out that the system of Paris negotiations is 'not fit for purpose', as it does not meet the current needs of the climate. According to Ecoloterra, the problem is not only in the final result, but also in the structure of the entire process.
This negotiating system has created internal problems and caused a series of conflicts and divisions among the involved parties. Parties promised to maintain their targets of reducing air emissions, but never reached the established target in the Paris Agreement. This has led to doubts about whether the Paris negotiation system is still applicable or if we should look for new solutions.
In conclusion, one could say that the Paris Agreement is an attempt at stability that has failed. Despite its fundamental goals, the system of Paris negotiations has caused internal problems and made it difficult to find effective solutions.
