| Popis: | For over twenty years the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) have been discussing and negotiating over who should do what about the ever-increasing emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs). This year the COP meeting in Paris will see another attempt to reach a binding international agreement on the reduction of GHG emissions, along with deciding on measures to respond to the now inevitable damages from human induced climate change. Policy failure is perhaps most evident in the designation of 2 degreesC as an acceptable target for global warming, associated by the UNFCCC with stabilising GHGs at 450 part per million (ppm) CO2 equivalent, a level which has in fact already been exceeded. Response now means substantive adaptation, and that raises issues of compensation for those having costs imposed upon them including dislocation. |
