Evaluación del Acuerdo de París de Amigos de la Tierra Internacional

Friends of the Earth International evaluates the Paris Agreement as a failure for climate justice, citing a lack of binding emission targets for rich nations, insufficient and non-binding financial commitments for developing countries, and the exclusion of compensation for 'Loss and Damage'. The organization criticizes the agreement for omitting mentions of renewable energy and energy efficiency while leaving the door open for risky technological 'false solutions'.

• Friends of the Earth International argues that the Paris Agreement fails to ensure ambitious climate action because it lacks specific figures or targets and does not mandate a temperature limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius, only proposing to 'make efforts' toward it.
• The agreement is criticized for lacking binding emission reduction targets for developed countries, relying instead on voluntary Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs). The organization notes that current INDCs could lead to warming of at least 2.7 and likely over 3 degrees Celsius.
• Financial commitments for developing countries are described as weak and non-binding. The goal of mobilizing $100 billion per year starting in 2020 was removed from the agreement and replaced by a weaker 'COP decision' where developed countries will only 'try to continue' that level of support until 2025.
• The agreement is viewed as insufficient regarding 'Loss and Damage' because it specifically excludes compensation and civil liability, leaving vulnerable countries and climate refugees without a concrete structure or funding for irreparable damages.
• The document highlights a lack of focus on transformative solutions, noting that the Paris Agreement does not mention energy efficiency or renewable energies, nor does it mandate the phase-out of fossil fuels. It warns that the agreement leaves the door open for 'false solutions' like geo-engineering and carbon markets.
