Our latest achievement
-
Nansen Initiatives have include the climate induced
migrants issue for global and inter-state advocacy.
-
Latest TRIPS waiver for LDCs as a milestone of CSO
mobilization, parallel with govt. process.
Book launching is an initiative of
expediting the issue in CoP-21 & onward
A TALE from CLIMATE GROUND ZERO

Seminar & Book launching Towards CoP-21
What we expect in Paris Deal
a. A Legally Binding Agreement that follows
- Equity principle with a notion of CBDR for developed
and poor country context
b. International Court for Climate Change Compliance and Justice/
International Legal Institution for;
- Forcing the law
- Implementation of compliance & monitoring
- Dispute Resolution

Situation somewhat frustrating
Draft Text: Favoring the big emitters
-
Try to insert or diluting the text as favoring point of view of
Annex-1
-
Try to use new term and concept like “developed & developing
country party”, “countries in need of support” etc.
-
Scientific gambling on defining the “emission reduction”
www.equitybd.org
Seminar & Book launching Towards CoP-21
Situation somewhat frustrating
Big divides remain on the key issues
-
There is no differentiation between developed and developing
countries in the proposed operational provisions.
-
They are all treated in a like manner, wiping out the notions of
historical responsibility and equity.
-
In mitigation, there is a downgrading of developed countries
obligations and an upgrading of developing country obligations.
-
The focus is overwhelmingly on mitigation, with no obligation for
developed countries to provide the needed funds.

LBA in view of mitigation
Our stand points in the negotiation
-
Clear statement regarding the time line of mitigation, peaking
period to limit the temperature rise below 1.5oC by 2100.
-
LBA must be focused on adaptation parallel with mitigation
-
No false solution proposed through LBA.
-
LDCs will be voluntary contributors to INDC.

Would temperature be possible to control?
-
Today, the world is 0.85°C warmer than pre-industrial levels
-
Below 1.50 C (50% chance)
-
Below 2.00 C (66% chance) AR-5 analysis by the scientist
Need realistic compliance target on emission reduction and to be
followed as most stringent for Annex 1 countries.
www.equitybd.org
Seminar & Book launching Towards CoP-21
Current global pledge of INDC insufficient toward 1.50C pathway
-
The commitments captured in INDCs will not keep temperatures
below 20C, much less 1.50C, above pre-industrial levels.
-
Even if all countries meet their INDC commitments, the world is
likely to warm by a devastating 30C or more.
(CSO Review on INDC)

Seminar & Book launching Towards CoP-21
Big gap in the notion of “Equity & Fare Share” responsibility in mitigation
-
Russia: INDC represents zero contribution towards its fair share
-
Japan: INDC represents about one tenth of its fair share
-
United States: INDC represents about a fifth of its fair share
-
European Union: INDC represents just over a fifth of its fair share
China, Indonesia, India and Brazil’s INDC represents slightly more than two
thirds of its fair share.

LBA in view of Adaptation
Our stand points in the negotiation
-
Clear commitment and work plan by developed country parties to
support on;
i.
Adaptation need & assessment in MVCs
ii.
Supporting mechanism (finance, technology and IB etc.)
www.equitybd.org
Seminar & Book launching Towards CoP-21
LBA in view of Loss & Damage
Our stand points in the negotiation
-
Separate text and work stream for International mechanism
-
Compensation by developed countries and separate window
for financing
-
No insurance mechanism (for business only???), rather a
collective share of UN and Annex-1 guarantees
www.equitybd.org
Seminar & Book launching Towards CoP-21
LBA in view of Financing
Our stand points in the negotiation
-
Must be coherent with SDG goals, like climate change; restore
ecosystem and environmental sustainability requirement.
-
Firm commitment from developed countries for pre 2020 (US$100
bln/yr) financial pledge
-
Current pledges (around US$33 billion up to 2020) are very
insufficient http://newsroom.unfccc.int

Seminar & Book launching Towards CoP-21
LBA in view of Financing
Allocation Approach & Strategies
-
Compensation and Reparation focus
-
Adequate, additional and Public Finance for LDCs.
-
Private finance for rich countries
-
At least 50:50 share in adaptation & mitigation
-
Appropriate Finance to appropriate Technology
www.equitybd.org
Seminar & Book launching Towards CoP-21
LBA in view of Technology shifting:
Our stand points in the negotiation
-
No IPR regime or conditionality for MVCs in case of their
adaptation and mitigation effort
-
All sort technology (for both adaptation and mitigation) have to
be provided following country specific and need base.
-
LBA must be provisioned for representation of LDCs to ensured
in Technology, assessment, transfer and support mechanism
