Review of the UNFCCC in Bonn

10 days of UN negotiations on climate change (UNFCCC), which come from end Bonn will have an opportunity to advanced techniques. They will operationalize the political agreement must be reached before Copenhagen. The idea of a register of actions taken by countries development to reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases progresses. The mechanisms for raising public funds is clear. But politics, he was not really matter. Because the negotiators have no political mandate. Nothing really So again on the three pillars of the negotiations: the emission reduction commitments of industrialized countries, the commitments of these countries to support financially and technologically developing countries, and that these actions * be able to undertake if they are supported to fight * climate change. We will return to Bonn on the United States obviously attractive, applauded in "listening mode," especially with developing countries. But also emphasize the U.S. Congress to reduce expectations and question the scientific value of commitments short ambitious term, to justify their political commitment to return, by 2020, their emissions to 1990 levels. In corridors, he said that Americans will no proposal for their support to developing countries by November. The European Union as it struggles to engage in dialogue with developing countries. Focused on its internal hard bargaining, it gives the impression of wanting to impose on other positions that are issues. Even "roast" of good ideas. It suffers especially an unbalanced position, which calls for many countries development without providing financial and technology. This support, she had promised to bring them in March. She acknowledges having been too ambitious. It now hopes to have a position by June, but without promising to make it official. It should not show his cards too soon it seems. The European Union increases can be playing poker. Meanwhile, mistrust with countries developing even the most progressive, continues to grow. Other industrialized countries do little better. Japan has certainly announced it would reduce its emissions by 2020 over 20% compared to 1990, but he also suggested it could let rise by 4%. Developing countries are still waiting. They have made many ads from national climate plans last year. They must engage, but will not until the country industrialized clearly will not support that they can them. Each tour is they seem to think. The hundreds and the hundreds of billions of dollars made by them in their plans for and to save their banks are laughing yellow countries developing, especially the most vulnerable, which requests few dozen in the fight against climate change. The group of developing countries also can not ignore its internal dissent. They are now in broad daylight. The most vulnerable and poor, joined by many countries Latin America, call on rich countries to reduce their emissions 45% by 2020 compared to 1990. Their motto is poignant: our survival is not negotiable. Oil producing countries or gas may no longer want them to positions that call into question the foundation of their economies. Given this lack of political progress, many have come to doubt the interest of the United Nations forum. This is not to be found an agreement they say. But the problem is not the forum. The real problem is the lack of political will at the height of Climate Risk that is before us.
