GLOBAL WARMING:
Like climate agreements of the past, such as the Kyoto Protocol, COP21 is meant to bring the nations of the world together to form an alliance, to tackle the issues of climate change.
What's different about this Paris Climate Alliance, where it will succeed where the others have failed?
- The largest emitters of GHGs in the world - the United States, China and India - are fully involved, and are expected to not only sign the agreement but also commit to it. This is something that was lacking for past agreements.
- We are at a time when the science behind global warming and climate change is stronger than ever, with the only uncertainties being with the minute details.
- Support for clean, renewable energy is higher than it has been in the past, and the options for clean energy are more abundant and more competitive with fossil fuels (especially if fossil fuel subsidies are taken out of the equation).
Overall, it looks as though this alliance will be one of the most ambitious agreements so far, and it will push for even more ambition in the future, to make the shift from fossil fuels to clean energy happen even faster.
