Outcome of COP22: Momentum holds, but climate action ambition and finance must urgently be ratcheted up

The Center for International Environmental Law states that COP22 showed a continued commitment to the Paris Agreement, but overall progress was slow and current commitments are too low to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees. The document highlights the leadership of the Climate Vulnerable Forum (CVF) in committing to 100% renewable energy by 2030 or 2050, while calling for historic polluters to provide necessary funding and for governments to strengthen public accountability and human rights obligations in climate action.

• The 47 countries within the Climate Vulnerable Forum (CVF) committed to transitioning to 100% renewable energy by 2030 or 2050 at the latest, a move the author suggests historic polluters should support through funding.
