Abstract

Despite the many calls to reform the CDM, its conceptual underpinnings are strong and it will most likely survive in the post-2012 climate regime. Some modifications may be considered in the short term to strengthen the effectiveness and transparency of the mechanism without modifying the Marrakesh Accords. In the medium term substantially increased mitigation efforts in developing countries may require a combination of three possible financial mechanisms: the current activity-based CDM albeit improved, a second market mechanism that would seek to improve the long term emission trends of developing countries by promoting broad based emission reduction programs primarily in the private sector, and a third financial mechanism outside of the market which would be an incentive for the adoption of policy changes leading to a low carbon path, but where emission reductions would not be used as international offsets.

Abstract

Een urgente maar hoopvolle boodschap van klimaatexpert Christiana FigueresZe is de grootste voorloper, voorstander en initiator als het gaat om het klimaat: Christiana Figueres. Ze was verantwoordelijk voor de historische klimaattop in Parijs en het sluiten van het Akkoord van Parijs, dat op 22 april 2016, op de Dag van de Aarde in New York door 174 landen is ondertekend. En nu richt ze zich tot een breder publiek: het klimaat bepaalt onze toekomst.In dit heldere, persoonlijke en urgente verhaal laat Figueres haar mening horen over de huidige stand van zaken wat betreft het klimaat en de toekomst van de aarde. Aan de hand van haar jarenlange ervaring in de internationale politiek en haar ontmoetingen met inspirerende personen over de hele wereld schetst ze een krachtig beeld van de uitdagingen waartegenover we nu staan, zowel op macro- als op microniveau. We bevinden ons op een belangrijk punt in de geschiedenis en het is aan ons om het heft in handen te nemen en de klimaatcrisis gezamenlijk te lijf te gaan. Ze is positief gestemd, maar alleen als we NU in actie komen. Alleen dan kan de aarde ook voor toekomstige generaties behouden blijven en gaan we een optimistische toekomst tegemoet.Bron : http://www.standaardboekhandel.be

Abstract

In The Future We Choose, Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac—who led negotiations for the United Nations during the historic Paris Agreement of 2015—have written a cautionary but optimistic book about the world’s changing climate and the fate of humanity.The authors outline two possible scenarios for our planet. In one, they describe what life on Earth will be like by 2050 if we fail to meet the Paris Agreement’s climate targets. In the other, they lay out what it will be like to live in a regenerative world that has net-zero emissions. They argue for confronting the climate crisis head-on, with determination and optimism. The Future We Choose presents our options and tells us what governments, corporations, and each of us can, and must, do to fend off disaster.

Abstract

Climate change: it is arguably the most urgent and consequential issue humankind has ever faced. How we address it in the next thirty years will determine the kind of world we will live in and will bequeath to our children and to theirs.In The Future We Choose, Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac--who led negotiations for the United Nations during the historic Paris Agreement of 2015--have written a cautionary but optimistic book about the world's changing climate and the fate of humanity.The authors outline two possible scenarios for our planet. In one, they describe what life on Earth will be like by 2050 if we fail to meet the Paris climate targets. In the other, they lay out what it will be like to live in a carbon neutral, regenerative world. They argue for confronting the climate crisis head-on, with determination and optimism. The Future We Choose presents our options and tells us what governments, corporations, and each of us can and must do to fend off disaster. -- Provided by database.
