During the next two weeks will be the world's attention to climate change negotiations arranged in the city of Cancun, Mexico. Indeed, in Cancun, a candidate to be a turning point in many ways. This round of negotiations at the global level to combat climate change as a result of a memorandum of understanding will emerge whether oluşamayacağı. However, prior to the negotiation of air, not on whether such an agreement does not allow optimism that be sustained. The ongoing economic crisis, the budget policies of developed countries, problems, difficulties in the transition to sustainable growth in the U.S. midterm elections, the climate change agenda of the various negative effects such as distance, plant and equipment Republicans come out victorious, displayed, required a constructive and creative approaches makes it difficult. Under these conditions, the foundation stones of the countries in Cancun after the diplomacy of climate change will have to query again.
Radical change
Before the meetings in Cancun, Mexico, revealed that the summit would not be unrealistic to expect the concrete goals. This determination, in the underlying climate change negotiations to date, in a sense, the hill named as inmeci approach, based on a global emissions reduction target among the countries negotiating strategy at the end of bölüştürülmesine means.
Cancun after the parties to adopt binding emission reduction targets and benimsetme strategy will no longer yield could not be seen. Instead of the first steps taken last year in Copenhagen and a clear-party states shall take steps to combat climate change emission reduction target without declaring them to be substitution-based approach. A radical and structural changes in global climate change negotiations, this approach is to point to the first process will be a significant impact in terms of governance.
The United Nations' out
To date, the negotiations on climate change, global business and enforced under the umbrella of the United Nations to reflect the size of the public. However, in these multi-national umbrella, will lose the distinction of being the platform essential to advance the agenda on climate change.
Bilateral relations will replace the multi-sided platform. In other words, climate change, for example, with China or Russia with the EU, also conducted by the U.S. strategic dialogue with China or India will be part of. Parties within the framework of this dialogue with each other, share strategies to combat climate change, mitigation, adaptation, technology transfer and related topics such as financing under the bilateral co-operation will develop policies based on.
Indeed, on December 17 European Council, EU High Representative for Foreign Policy to Ashton in charge of EU leaders to offer the EU the United States, Russia, China and India strategic dialogue with countries such as recommendations on the package, for the first time in climate change policies will take place in Brussels already been expressed, and without waiting for the results of the summit in Cancun.
Emission reduction 'out' of the international climate change negotiation process, and fundamentally changing the way the agenda is another effect, greenhouse gas emission reduction obligations of the countries they shouted signature shift policies and measures will be spent to life. Leadership among developing countries in this area, due to greenhouse gas reduction target of frequent criticism üstlenmemesinden country the world's largest source of emissions in China appears to undertaken. China, last year in Copenhagen, the 2005 level by 2020, carbon intensity of the expressed target of 40-45% below the drawing.
China put into effect to combat economic stagnation kaydedeğer part of the $ 2 trillion stimulus package, the country's low-carbon economy that is intended to support the passage of measures that will help.
China in this way, photovoltaics, electric cars, green technologies like carbon attitude of trying to take over leadership in the world. Indeed, the Chinese authorities, kaçırdıklarını industrial revolution, the digital revolution, but the green revolution kaçırmayacaklarını kaçırdıklarını also stated that they express.
When the winner of Turkey
Turkey, countries that have ratified the Kyoto Protocol, at least between 2008-2012, and therefore has no obligation of any reduction. International negotiations on a move away from the target attribute to change and reduction of Turkey to alleviate the pressure on the description of a binding reduction target. However, our country, right after China, the most since 1990, the emission volume increases proportionally to the second country, the issue in the G20 and the EU will continue to show that relations with the addressee. Adopted in April this year, the National Climate Change Strategy at the first and important step in this direction poses.
But the cost of climate change will create the country's economy is still largely perceived as an agenda. In a country so rich in terms of renewable resources, climate change debate into perspective, the opportunity cost is required. Climate change and sustainable development agenda is actually the size of a competitive economy is a goal of better serving should be emphasized.
At the international level description of a reduction target of the pressure relief, this discussion healthier, more productive and gives more time to our country to maintain a participatory framework. To really benefit from this opportunity, the responsibility falls to all of us, including especially the political staffs.
