COP23 Analysis: The Calm Before the Storm
A detailed analysis of the 23rd world climate conference COP23 in Bonn
From 6 to 17 November, the 23rd Conference of the Parties (COP23) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was held in Bonn under the presidency of Fiji. Researchers from the Wuppertal Institute who attended the conference have now published an in-depth analysis of the key results of the conference.
The report starts by discussing developments regarding the implementation of
the Paris Agreement, in particular the negotiations on the detailed 'rulebook'
for implementing the Agreement. Other key issues addressed at the conference
were the support for countries of the Global South in dealing with the effects
of climate change (adaptation and climate finance) and preparation of the first
global review of climate action that will take place in December this year. In
addition, the report discusses recent developments in the wider world that have
an impact on the UNFCCC, in particular the rise of pioneer alliances at the
intergovernmental and civil society level.
Although some progress was
achieved regarding the rulebook for implementation of the Paris Agreement, no
real breakthrough was made. Therefore, quite some diplomatic work and political
leadership will be needed this year to make the adoption of the rulebook at
COP24 in Katowice (Poland) possible. This will require quite some tailwind from
civil society and the media.
The authors of the report emphasise that the full calendar of climate diplomacy over the next years will hopefully contribute to keeping climate protection in the news and high on the political agenda. They conclude that for the success of COP24 in Katowice in December this year, it will be essential that all countries rediscover the central message of the Paris Agreement: that in the face of the coming storms on a finite planet, we are all in the same boat.
