Bilan de l’Accord de Paris des Amis de la Terre International

Friends of the Earth International concludes that the Paris Agreement fails the 'People's Climate Test' due to its lack of binding emission targets, insufficient financial commitments for developing nations, and the absence of concrete mechanisms for loss and damage. The organization criticizes the agreement for not mentioning renewable energy or the phase-out of fossil fuels, while leaving the door open to 'false solutions' like geo-engineering and carbon markets.

• The Paris Agreement is deemed insufficient for achieving climate justice because it lacks solid figures or objectives to guarantee an ambitious action plan and fails to hold wealthy nations accountable for their fair share of emission reductions and transition financing.
• The agreement's temperature goals are criticized as weak; while it aims to keep warming below 2°C, there is no binding obligation to limit it to 1.5°C, and current commitments are projected to lead to warming of at least 2.7°C or potentially over 3°C.
• Financial commitments for developing countries are viewed as inadequate, noting that the goal of mobilizing 100 billion dollars per year from 2020 was removed from the agreement and replaced by a weaker COP decision, with no concrete guarantee of funding levels or methods.
• The agreement fails to provide adequate justice for impacted populations, specifically by excluding terms like 'compensation' and 'responsibility' regarding loss and damage, and by placing the 'just transition' for workers only in the preamble rather than the binding text.
• The document highlights a critical omission of renewable energy and energy efficiency in the text, and warns that the agreement allows for 'false solutions' such as geo-engineering and Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS).
