Here are the key reforms and alternatives that experts are proposing. Almost a decade since the Paris Agreement was signed at COP21 &#8211; with the landmark goal of limiting global heating to 1.5C &#8211; the world is hurtling towards double that. The gulf between the hope that groundbreaking deal represented and the current reality has left many people frustrated with the annual UN climate summits.<\/p>\n<p>With time ticking down, some experts are questioning whether climate COPs are the best space, or structured in the best way, for the scale of action required. \u201cI would just like it if more countries and more parts of civil society would step back and really take a hard look at whether it will deliver what we need,\u201d says Anthony Burke, a professor of environmental politics. On the cusp of COP29, which UN climate chief Simon Stiell has said must be \u201cthe-stand-and-deliver-COP\u201d, here are the key critiques and suggestions of COP sceptics and would-be reformers.<\/p>\n<p>One of the greatest strengths and weaknesses of the climate summit (and the biodiversity COP) is that it takes a multilateral approach. All 197 signatories to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) treaty must agree on conference decisions.Likewise updates to the Paris Agreement &#8211; hailed as a triumph of the multilateral process &#8211; can only proceed with buy-in from all parties. \u201cIt\u2019s generally frustrating because [&#8230;] you have to really go at the pace of your slowest person,\u201d Michai Robertson, senior finance negotiator for the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) told us last year.<\/p>\n<p>On the plus side, consensus adds a unique legitimacy to major decisions such as the agreement to create a loss and damage fund for climate-vulnerable countries at COP27. And, in theory at least, it gives a small island state the same voting power as a global superpower. \u201cWhile it is frustrating, I typically tell people that it&#8217;s really and truly the only process that we have. That we can have a substantive say in and not feel like we\u2019re going to be cast aside,\u201d Robertson added.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It\u2019s the best we\u2019ve got\u2019 is a sentiment shared by many campaigners, big NGOs and the developing countries which can least afford for COP to fail. But frustration with a lack of progress has pushed some experts to consider alternative and additional forms of climate action. \u201cThere\u2019s a level path dependency that a big international agreement like [the Paris Agreement] exerts on everyone,\u201d says Prof Burke says from his home in Canberra. \u201cA lot of us were prepared to give [it] the benefit of the doubt. It was certainly an artful compromise, but embedded within it were the UNFCCC voting rules that give potentially one state veto over major COP decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Under the Paris Agreement, countries have to submit to a global stocktake every five years, reporting on their progress towards emissions-cutting targets. It\u2019s a welcome opportunity for peer pressure and review, says Burke, but the 2023 check-in revealed a world well-off the 1.5C target. The problem with the negotiations, according to former UK diplomat Simon Sharpe, is that they focus too much on process &#8211; when and how countries should set targets etcetera &#8211; and not enough on substantive action.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/10\/23\/cops-are-struggling-to-keep-15c-alive-are-there-better-forms-of-climate-diplomacy\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/10\/23\/cops-are-struggling-to-keep-15c-alive-are-there-better-forms-of-climate-diplomacy\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/cops-are-struggling-to-keep-1-5c-alive-are-there-better-forms-of-climate-diplomacy\/\">COPs are struggling to keep 1.5C alive.
