Etat des négociations de la CCNUCC
Summary
The report details the progress and deadlocks in UNFCCC negotiations during 2009, specifically the Bonn II and III meetings. It examines the four pillars of the Bali Action Plan: mitigation, adaptation, technology, and finance. Key tensions persist between developed and developing nations regarding emission reduction targets, the role of the United States, and the funding of adaptation and technology transfer. The document highlights the urgency of accelerating negotiations before the December 2009 Copenhagen summit, noting that the 200-page negotiating text remains largely unresolved.
Key insights
- Negotiations in Bonn II and III failed to significantly simplify the 200-page negotiating text, as countries were unwilling to abandon their traditional positions, leading the UNFCCC Executive Secretary to warn that "les négociations devront être considérablement accélérées si on veut obtenir un résultat à Copenhague".
- Within the Ad Hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Action (AWGLCA), developed countries agreed on the necessity of long-term emission reduction targets, while developing countries, led by the G77 and China, insisted that Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMA) should not be viewed as mitigation targets.
- Regarding REDD+, countries agreed that negotiations on the text could begin in Bangkok, though critical issues remain concerning whether it will be "fondée sur le marché ou sur les fonds ou une combinaison des deux".
- In the Ad Hoc Working Group on Further Commitments for Annex I Parties (AWG-KP), no agreement was reached on the scale of emission reductions; most developing countries advocate for reductions of "au moins 25 à 40 % en deçà du niveau de 1990 dici 2020".
- Canada presented a national target to reduce emissions by 20% from 2006 levels by 2020, leading to a "réduction de 60 à 70 % d'ici 2050 par rapport au niveau de 2006", while opposing the mandatory inclusion of land use, land-use change, and forestry (LULUCF) in calculations.
- Adaptation is viewed as a domain where progress has exceeded expectations, with consensus that a general framework is necessary, although developing countries demand that "le financement soit accru et qu'il soit adéquat et prévisible".
- Significant divergence remains on technology transfer, with developed countries emphasizing private sector investment and the carbon market, while some developing countries argue that the "régime de DPI constitue un obstacle au transfert efficace de technologie".
- Financial negotiations are stalled over the source of funds and governance; the African Group stated it would not accept an agreement without a financial commitment from developed countries "s'élevant à un pourcent de leur PNB".
