By Joydeep Gupta<\/a><\/p>\n

Climate change hit the world with unprecedented ferocity in 2019 \u2013 through heat waves, storms, floods, droughts, wildfires and avalanches. At the end of the same year, all progress under the UN system on dealing with climate change was halted by governments that insisted on business as usual.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, young climate activist Greta Thunberg told governments \u201cWe\u2019re watching you.\u201d Towards the end of the plenary session of the annual UN climate summit, an indigenous rights activist from New Zealand demanded that governments \u201cget out of the way\u201d of climate actions.<\/p>\n

It was an inglorious end to a summit that had started with the hashtag \u201ctime for action\u201d but failed to see any, despite closed door negotiations that delayed the final plenary session by 40 hours \u2013 another dubious record.<\/p>\n

This 25th summit of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC COP25) had five major objectives: restarting the international carbon market; finding money to deal with the loss and damage being caused by climate change now; making a roadmap for long-term finance from developed to developing countries; holding developed countries to account for climate actions they are supposed to have taken before the\u00a0Paris Agreement<\/a>\u00a0comes into force; and to integrate gender, human rights and indigenous rights components into all climate actions.<\/p>\n

In the first four it failed totally. It did manage to approve a gender action plan but could not agree on human rights overall and the rights of indigenous peoples in particular.<\/p>\n

COP25 had been shifted from Santiago to Madrid due to the unrest in Chile, but Carolina Schmidt, Chile\u2019s environment minister, remained its president. Towards the end of the plenary session, even she was expressing her \u201cdeep disappointment\u201d. Not since 2009 in Copenhagen has a UN climate summit ended in such failure.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What does it mean?<\/h2>\n

The 2015\u00a0Paris Agreement\u00a0to control carbon emissions and adapt to climate impacts will come into force as scheduled on January 1, 2020. But it will be hobbled by lack of money. Pledges by most developing countries to the agreement depend on money from industrialized countries, which has not been arranged.<\/p>\n

The carbon market cannot be started because 195 governments and the European Union gathered in Madrid could not agree on its modalities. Delegates from developed and developing countries had many harsh words for the other group when speaking off record. Some accused emerging economies China and India of \u201ccornering\u201d the market with \u201cdodgy\u201d projects and through \u201cdouble counting\u201d of credits. Others accused the European Union of blocking progress to shield its internal carbon market.<\/p>\n

Now that the Trump administration has officially notified its intention to leave the Paris agreement, the US delegation blocked all discussions over long-term finance to help developing countries. When Hillary Clinton was US secretary of state in 2009, she had promised that the developed world would provide the developing world $100 billion per year from 2020.<\/p>\n

The COP shows that the political will to act is absolutely missing across governments.<\/i><\/p>\n

Going further, in Madrid the US delegation also vetoed agreement that the UN mechanism to deal with loss and damage be supervised by both UNFCCC and the countries who had ratified the Paris agreement. The United States wanted this mechanism to be under the Paris agreement only. That way, it would not have to provide any money on this score once it left the agreement. At the plenary session, the delegate from Nicaragua described the US action as a \u201ccrime against humanity\u201d.<\/p>\n

India led the developing countries\u2019 insistence that the developed world fulfil its own promises before asking the whole world to take action. The so-called pre-2020 actions have received passing mention in some of the summit resolutions, but without teeth. Reacting to repeated demands from developed nations \u2013 notably the European Union \u2013 that all countries must \u201craise their ambitions\u201d in terms of climate action, the delegate from China said at the plenary session, \u201cWe need concrete actions instead of empty slogans.\u201d He was speaking on behalf of BASIC \u2013 the group of Brazil, South Africa, India and China \u2013 that form a bloc in global climate negotiations.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

What happens now<\/h2>\n

The collapse of the 2019 summit has put a lot more pressure on the entire UN system, especially on the United Kingdom, which will host next year\u2019s summit in Glasgow. With national pledges made for the Paris agreement falling far short of the avowed goal to hold average global temperature rise within 2 degree Celcius, the 2020 summit was originally scheduled to look at the extent to which pledges could be raised.<\/p>\n

It will now have to first deal with the unfinished agenda of 2019 \u2013 most urgently on carbon markets, the governance of the loss and damage mechanism, pre-2020 action and long-term finance. Given the record of countries like the United States in blocking progress, that will be a daunting task. Diplomats and observers are suggesting that Britain start talking about it right away, going from capital to capital as the French did before the 2015 Paris summit, so that there are at least some preliminary agreements before thousands of delegates gather again in an environment that is more confrontational than anything else, and can at best lead to a zero-sum game. The failure of the Chilean government to do this is at least partially responsible for the current outcome being in the negative, far less than zero.<\/p>\n

The Spanish government tried to mend matters the moment COP25 was shifted to Madrid, and encouraged large civil society protests in the city and the venue, but it was too late.<\/p>\n

Still, Madrid authorities earned praise from everyone for the near-perfect logistics at the venue, all put together in just four weeks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The reactions<\/h2>\n

From the UN secretary general to the smallholder farmer, everybody expressed dismay at the outcome of this year\u2019s UN climate summit.<\/p>\n

Harjeet Singh, ActionAid\u2019s global lead on climate change and a member of the loss and damage mechanism\u2019s executive committee, said: \u201cThe US has once again gotten its way through bullying and tricks.\u00a0They came here in bad faith,\u00a0acting only to protect their\u00a0interests and those of the polluting industries that caused the climate emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aarti Khosla, director of Climate Trends, said: \u201cThe COP shows that the political will to act is absolutely missing across governments. The EU announced an ambition for 2050 leaving out what it can do in 2030. China, as the largest global emitter has not felt the need to take leadership. India, with the largest renewables program of any country, has the opportunity of moving away from coal which it hasn\u2019t seized. The exit of the US from the Paris agreement adds to the ill health of the one global accord the world has to address a defining issue of our times.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jennifer Morgan of Greenpeace International said: \u201cGovernments need to completely rethink how they do this, because the outcome of COP25 is totally unacceptable. This COP exposed the role of polluters in politics and the youth\u2019s deep distrust of government, as climate blockers like Brazil and Saudi Arabia, enabled by an irresponsibly weak Chilean leadership, peddled carbon deals and steamrolled scientists and civil society.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jonathan Pershing of Hewlett Foundation and former US special envoy for climate change said: \u201cThe collective global effort still falls well short of what is needed. And while Madrid focused on narrow technical issues, it is past time to move beyond that. All governments will need to step up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alden Meyer, director of policy and strategy at the Union of Concerned Scientists, said: \u201cI\u2019ve been attending these climate negotiations since they first started in 1991. But never have I seen the almost total disconnect we\u2019ve seen here at COP25 between what the science requires and what the climate negotiations are delivering in terms of meaningful action.\u201d<\/p>\n

Helen Mountford, vice president for climate and economics at the World Resources Institute, said: \u201cThis reflects how disconnected many national leaders are from the urgency of the science and the demands of their citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n

May Boeve,\u00a0executive director of 350.org, said: \u201cCOP25 was a success for the fossil fuel industry. Youth activists and indigenous leaders put into the climate negotiations the moral clarity that the process was lacking. We are going to bring our activism home, to capitals, ministries, bank headquarters and fossil fuel infrastructure all over the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
