What Paris is likely to deliver

Prospects look bright for the Paris Climate Summit. The sole fact that this year’s COP (Conference of the Parties) will start with the government leaders meeting instead of finishing with it, as was usual in the past, is promising, writes Rolf de Vos of Ecofys. According to De Vos, if the more than 80 world leaders who will gather in Paris, including Obama, Xi Jinping, Modi and Putin, will get the Summit off to a good start, the work of two … [Read more...]

Most countries need to at least double their efforts on climate

Developed nations need to double or triple their current efforts to limit global warming to a “safe” level of 2⁰C, write Anita Talberg and Malte Meinshausen of the University of Melbourne. That’s the finding of a study published on 26 October in Nature Climate Change assessing countries' post-2020 climate pledges ahead of December’s international climate summit in Paris. … [Read more...]

We need INDCs from industry too!

Countries across the world are making climate pledges for 2030 through their INDCs (Intended Nationally Determined Contributions). Why can’t industrial sectors do the same? Industries are afraid that climate measures will hurt their international competitiveness, but this problem could be avoided if they agreed on international sectoral pledges. Rolf de Vos of Ecofys proposes a new mechanism: Intended Sectorally Determined Contributions (ISDCs). … [Read more...]

EU kicks off final phase of controversial carbon market reform

On 15 July, the European Commission unveiled its long-awaited proposals for a deep and meaningful reform of Europe’s carbon market from 2021-30. It neatly turns into law political decisions by EU heads of state and government last October. NGOs have lambasted it for lack of ambition while industry is screaming blue murder about a declining pot of free carbon allowances. Welcome to the start of a two-year battle that is probably the last chance … [Read more...]
