result of the climate change conference Cancun On the credit side of the resolved in Cancun agreement in the Kyoto process is: ■ The developed countries acknowledge the findings of the IPCC, that the greenhouse gas emissions worldwide by 2020 must be reduced by at least 25 to 40 percent compared to 1990.
■ Developed countries take the voluntary commitments CO2 reduction targets for information, which they have laid down last year negotiated Copenhagen chord. So that this Agreement is free for the first time been incorporated into a treaty of the United Nations.
■ The contract urges industrial countries to increase their CO2 savings. Because the requirements of the IPCC for reducing the greenhouse gas emissions, the voluntary reduction targets among developed countries is not just. You should actually be doubled.
■ forest-rich countries, especially Russia can count against their greenhouse gas emissions with the carbon stored in their forests.
The second negotiating track on the World Climate Conference in Cancun with a complicated name: Long-term Cooperative Action (LCA). There are decisions that are mainly for the relationship between developed and developing countries is important. Agreed to have the delegates to the following:
■ The signatory countries agree to deep cuts in global greenhouse gas emissions. You want to orient themselves to the one established by the scientific goal of global warming to two degrees above pre-industrial level limit. States Parties shall keep open the option to tighten in the light of new scientific findings, the target of 1.5 degrees.
■ The Parties declare their intention to develop a time frame of when the CO2 emissions have reached their peak and will fall.
■ It was decided to establish the so-called Cancun Framework Agreement on Adaptation to climate change. It is intended to develop, among other things, that the nations own adaptation plans in a warmer world.
■ Developed countries take on the Copenhagen-piece set, voluntary CO2 reduction targets. You are urged to increase further their goals, so that savings are consistent with the recommendations of the IPCC. For the developing countries is that they adopt appropriate conservation measures so that they emit less greenhouse gases than they would just go on. ■ It should
a forest conservation program established, which is known as the Redd (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation).
■ For the next three years will flow a relief of 10 billion dollars a year in a fund of the UN, which is provided with priority for countries affected by climate change especially.
■ In the long run should the funding be increased for developing countries - and from 2020 to an annual total of $ 100 billion. It may not do traditional development assistance funds are reduced. The assistance can consist of private and state resources originate. The funds flow into the newly formed Green Climate Fund under the auspices of the United Nations. As a transitional measure intended to take over the management of the World Bank. Provides for a board with 24 members, composed equally of representatives from developing and developed countries.
■ At the same time a climate technology center will be developed that will enable the transfer of technologies for climate protection in developing countries. He has to be led by the United Nations.
Well, it was not so much. And on the other hand, some countries have not yet gestreubt. But more we have not expected. All phrases that have been thrashed before. Except for the grant. That's a start. Where 10 billion to save the climate are ridiculous. How much Germany spent billions every year just for the military budget? If we do not do that thoughtful?
