As a result of the UNFCCC COP-18 in 2012, international climate negotiations have entered a new phase. The focus is on the negotiation of a protocol, another legal instrument or an agreed outcome with...
legal force under the Convention applicable to all Parties, to be negotiated by 2015 and to come into force in 2020. If such an agreement is achieved,
it will be the first global climate agreement to extend to all countries, both developed
and developing. COP-18 also delivered an extension of the kyoto Protocol to 2020, with
38 countries (representing 13% of global greenhouse-gas emissions) taking on binding
targets (Figure 1.3). As part of the earlier (2010) Cancun Agreements, 91 countries,
representing nearly 80% of global greenhouse-gas emissions, have adopted and submitted
targets for international registration or pledged actions. These pledges, however, collectively fall well short of what is necessary to deliver the 2 °C goal (UNEP, 2012).
