No Justice in Lima Outcome

Friends of the Earth International and a coalition of international networks issued a statement criticizing the outcome of the Lima Conference, arguing that the resulting decisions weaken international climate rules and fail to address the needs of vulnerable populations in the Global South.

• The Lima Conference failed to establish a clear regulatory framework or binding commitments for finance, adaptation, loss and damage, and technology transfer, which the authors argue ignores the rights of impacted people and prepares for a flawed agreement in Paris.
• The pre-2020 mitigation pledges are described as unjust and weak, placing the world on a trajectory to exceed 2°C of warming by mid-century, with no commitment in 2014 to urgently review or revise them.
• The document alleges that politicians from the EU, the US, and their allies acted in the interests of polluting corporations to deregulate the international climate regime, shift responsibility to the South, and ignore obligations regarding technology and finance transfer.
• The outcome of the Lima Conference is criticized for potentially expanding carbon markets, including credits from soil and forests, which the authors claim undermines land rights for farmers and forest communities.
