Loi Climat, Green Deal, COP : 2021 s'annonce décisive pour le climat, la biodiversité et l’environnement | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it
Avec le report de tous les événements prévus l'année dernière en raison de la pandémie de Covid-19, c'est finalement l'année 2021 qui sera cruciale pour la planète. Sur le plan français, nous attendons une ambitieuse loi climat tandis que la Commission européenne concrétisera à la fin du premier semestre son Green Deal. Au niveau international, la fin de l'année verra la tenue des COP sur le climat, la biodiversité et la désertification, avec de forts engagements attendus de la part des Etats.

La 25e Conférence des parties sur les changements climatiques, ou COP25, doit débuter le 2 décembre prochain à Madrid dans un contexte difficile : délocalisée au dernier moment pour cause d'émeutes au Chili, elle se tient alors que Donald Trump a confirmé le retrait des États-Unis de l’accord de Paris en novembre 2020. Les enjeux sont pourtant considérables, comme le confirme un Atlas de l’anthropocène publié récemment.

Raconter le climat, un projet fidjien qui laisse l’UE de marbre –

Raconter le climat, un projet fidjien qui laisse l’UE de marbre – | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it
Les îles Fidji tentent de convaincre de la nécessité d’un nouveau type de débat climatique par le biais du récit, sous la forme du dialogue de Talanoa. Le projet n’emballe pas l’Europe.

«Quand nous avons présenté l’idée, tout le monde a adoré, mais l’Union européenne a souhaité savoir quelle était la méthodologie du processus ». Le bloc « ne comprend pas encore le mécanisme, mais c’est notre responsabilité est de mieux l’expliquer dans les mois qui viennent » remarque Nazhat Shameem Khan .
Par rapport aux méandres complexes des négociations climatiques onusiennes, la plate-forme du dialogue de Talanoa a l’avantage de la simplicité. Lancée fin janvier, le portail internet du projet se propose, sur le fond, de recueillir le contenu de tous, soit les États mais aussi la société civile, sous trois rubriques : où en sommes nous, où allons nous, et par quels moyens.

Malgré le report d'un an de la COP26 de Glasgow (Écosse) sur le climat, certains des plus gros émetteurs de la planète, tels que la Chine ou encore le Japon, ont pris des engagements vers la neutralité carbone. L'ensemble de ces nouvelles annonces placent le monde sur une trajectoire de réchauffement de 2,1°C, selon Climate Action Tracker. Jamais nous n'avions été si près de l'objectif de l'Accord de Paris, dont nous célébrerons le cinquième anniversaire ce 12 décembre.

Climate Action's response to COVID-19 and COP26 postponement - Climate Action

Climate Action's response to COVID-19 and COP26 postponement - Climate Action | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it
As you are probably well aware, late on Wednesday evening, COP26 President, The Hon. Alok Sharma announced a joint UK and UN decision to postpone the UNFCCC’s 26th Conference of Parties (COP26).

Given the current global health emergency, this might not come as a surprise to many.

First and foremost, our sympathies go to those who have already lost loved ones to COVID-19, and we extend our deepest thanks and to the amazing health service professionals and front-line workers who put their lives at risk on a daily basis.

Madrid COP 25 Event on the Urgency of and Getting Traction for Ethical Principles to Guide National Responses to Climate Change | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it

Climate change has certain features that more than any other environmental problem scream for attention that it should be understood and responded to as an ethical problem. These features include that it is a problem that: (1) has mostly been caused by developed nations; (2) most threatens poor vulnerable people and nations which have…

COP24 in Katowice: Poland between reason and ambitions – EURACTIV.com

COP24 in Katowice: Poland between reason and ambitions – EURACTIV.com | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it
Preparations for the COP24 summit on 3-14 December in Katowice, a traditional coal mining city in Upper Silesia, have already begun.

COP24 has a serious task ahead: to refine the details of the Paris Agreement, concluded in 2015, when all parties agreed to present national contributions to climate protection. The agreement is, however, based on goodwill and does not include mechanisms for verifying actions or sanctions for states that do not meet their targets. The next stage, which is to end during the summit in Katowice, is to refine the details.

"Paris Compatible" Governance: long-term policy frameworks to drive transformational change | Ecologic Institute: Science and Policy for a Sustainable World | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it

Governments around the world have already adopted long-term climate frameworks, many in legal form. Many others are in the process of developing similar laws or strategies. These overarching long-term frameworks are critical to effectively implementing the Paris Agreement, as tools for managing the necessary transformation of all sectors of the economy. Such climate frameworks help set appropriate long-term targets, chart pathways towards them and identify the necessary policies. They can also help build political support, engage stakeholders and expert advice and create accountability. And they can facilitate raising ambition further — as foreseen under the new Paris system.
