De la COP21 à la COP22 : comment gagner le combat climatique ? Note de l'Ifri
Authors

October 12, 2016

En décembre 2015, la COP21 a abouti à un nouvel accord international dans le domaine de la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique, ouvrant la voie à un changement d’échelle des efforts d’atténuation et d’adaptation. La nécessité d’agir vite ayant été fermement exprimée, 2016 fait figure d’année test pour la crédibilité des engagements pris à Paris.

Les politiques climatiques tendent effectivement à se généraliser mais aussi à s’ajuster aux contraintes et aux besoins locaux, écartant l’hypothèse d’un modèle uniforme de régulation des émissions. Si la transition bas-carbone est bien en marche, son rythme et ses modalités semblent encore trop incertains pour sortir les décideurs économiques de leur réserve vis-à-vis des choix décarbonés. La COP22, qui se tiendra à Marrakech en novembre 2016, sera l’occasion de mettre un terme à ces hésitations, en renforçant la pression politique et médiatique, en consolidant le principe de justice climatique et enfin, plus largement, en approfondissant la réflexion sur les moyens de mener une transition ordonnée vers la neutralité carbone.

    L’actualité pétrolière très chargée de ces derniers mois a mis sur le devant de la scène une entité appelée OPEP+. Ce nom est aujourd’hui régulièrement cité par un grand nombre de médias dans des commentaires et analyses sur l’évolution du marché pétrolier mondial et des prix du pétrole. Il faut souligner d’emblée que l’OPEP+ n’est pas, comme on pourrait le croire, une organisation. L’OPEP (Organisation des pays exportateurs de pétrole), elle, est une véritable organisation avec un ...

Much can be said about this conflict—how it revolves around models of governance and conflicting visions of self-determination, and how its impact will be felt across the region. Here ...
