La place du nucléaire dans une trajectoire 2 degrés / Alain Grandjean, Chroniques de l'anthropocène, 29/12/2015Les politiques énergétiques jouent un rôle déterminant dans l’atteinte des objectifs climatiques qui ont été fortement réaffirmés dans l’accord de Paris à la COP21. Deux tiers de nos émissions mondiales de GES sont dues à la combustion des énergies fossiles...lire la suiteThe Paris Approach to Global Governance / Anne-Marie Slaughter,  Professor Emerita of Politics and International Affairs at Princeton University, Project Syndicate, 28/12/2015As a former president of the American Society of International Law, I should bemoan the recent Paris agreement on climate change as a failure. By the standards of a traditional treaty, it falls woefully short. Yet its deficits in this regard are its greatest strengths as a model for effective global governance in the twenty-first century... lire la suiteThe Grassroots of Climate Change / Kofi A. Annan, Project Syndicate, 22/12/2015The climate-change agreement reached here on December 12 was a rich victory for diplomacy. Both the agreement itself and the atmosphere of cooperation that permeated the proceedings represent a sea change from the failed Copenhagen summit in 2009. But while we should congratulate world leaders on their success, Paris marks the beginning, not the end, of the road. It is now our collective duty to hold our leaders to account and ensure that they turn promises into action – especially in the world’s most vulnerable regions, such as Africa... lire la suiteNon, la COP ne fut pas « un sommet pour rien » / Patrick Criqui et Michel Damian, the Conversation, 21/12/2015En s’éloignant d’un dispositif global mais désincarné – celui d’un marché mondial des quotas d’émission –, l’accord de Paris rend le devoir de l’action aux sociétés en charge de le mettre en œuvre, et donc à toutes les forces et à tous les acteurs engagés, dans leurs attentes contradictoires. La politique climatique du XXIe siècle sera bien un combat.... lire la suiteParis to Earth : act locally within a global framework / John Dernbach, Environmental law and Sustainability Center blog, 16/12/2015The Paris Agreement is being hailed as an historic breakthrough by political leaders, nongovernmental organizations, and the business community. It represents the first time since the Framework Convention on Climate Change was opened for signature in 1992 that all 196 parties have agreed to take  actions to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions... lire la suiteThe Paris COP: Laying the foundation for ambitious climate change mitigation. Perspectives post-COP evaluation / Axel Michaelowa. Perspectives Climate Change, 14/12/2015, 23 diaposThe Paris Agreement is a breakthrough in international climate policyMarket mechanisms are reinstated as key instrumentA huge amount of work needs to be done in the next years to put “flesh to the bones” of the agreementPost-Paris: Time to get back to reality / Qi Ye and Tong Wu, Brookings, 18/12/2015The recent Paris climate change conference was a landmark success in global governance. The final accord has won widespread acclaim from the world’s media and politicians. After a series of high-stakes and high-profile negotiations, the resultant Paris agreement has armed the international community’s commitment to limiting global temperature rise well below 2oC above pre-industrial levels... lire la suite
