The UNFCCC negotiations in Paris
The UNFCCC negotiations in Paris in December last year resulted in the new Paris Agreement on Climate Change. But what does the Agreement actually say and what does it mean for our future?
After nearly seventeen years of deadlock, 197 parties to the UNFCCC concluded a new international agreement on climate change at the 21st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP21) in Paris from 30 November to 11 December 2015. The treaty aims to "strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change in the context of sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty.” Parties seek to hold climate change below 2 °C and even 1.5 °C, to adapt to climate impacts and foster resilience, and to mobilize the finance needed for low-carbon development. The new treaty adopts a bottom up approach to achieve high ambition objectives, building on climate action plans from 188 countries, as UNFCCC Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to global response to climate change. This guest lecture outlines key elements of the new Paris Agreement, exploring the emerging international context and key legal challenges for implementing "climate justice" for more sustainable development that guides and is guided by international law in a post-Paris carbon-constrained world.
Co-Chairs: Dr Markus Gehring and Professor Joanna Depledge
Guest Speaker: Dr Marie-Claire Cordonier
Hosted by the Centre for International Sustainable Development Law, the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law, the Cambridge Centre for Environment, Energy and Natural Resource Governance and the Department of Politics and International Studies.
