  • Current Status of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement: Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (Itmos)
    COMMENTARY Current Status of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement: Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs) Joachim Roth Daniella Echeverría Philip Gass *With contributions from Katie Sullivan and Stefano de Clara from the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA) December 2019 Overview Internationally transferred mitigation outcomes (ITMOs) use a carbon dioxide equivalent [CO2e] metric for a new set of market provisions or other greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation outcomes that are defined underArticle 6 of the Paris Agreement. Set to come into effect as of 2020, they are meant to replace other existing forms of international carbon credits such as those issued under the Kyoto-era Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and Joint Implementation (JI). ITMOs are not specifically defined yet and could take many forms, including through linking emission trading systems (ETSs) across jurisdictions, investment in emission reduction projects, technology transfers and even credits from REDD+ schemes. Article 6 could therefore be a useful way to channel technology, finance and capacity building from developed to developing countries. Some argue that it could support reaching the USD 100 billion climate finance commitment per year, though some countries oppose this approach. There are two main avenues to how countries can cooperate using ITMOs as defined under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement: • Article 6.2: Countries can participate in international carbon markets by trading ITMOs through a decentralized cooperative approach. • Article 6.4: Countries can participate in a mechanism governed by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). IISD.org 1 Article 6 as a Departure From the CDM and JI Under Article 6.2, ITMOs differ from previous offset schemes, as they count toward countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), support overall mitigation in global emissions (for Article 6.4) and involve more substantial government participation than under the CDM.

  • Paris Treaty Is Best Even with USA As a Non-Party: but the USA Has No Ratification Dilemma
    Paris Treaty Is Best Even with USA as a non-Party: But the USA Has No Ratification Dilemma Kyle Ash Greenpeace USA 10 December 2014 The US Senate does not need to ratify a Paris climate treaty, contrary to popular understanding. This argument, however, provides the foundation for President Obama administration's claim that making mitigation commitments legally binding in the 2015 Paris climate agreement is not just unnecessary but harmful to the outcome. They claim that legal bindingness undermines ambition. This paper provides an alternative to the US delegation perspective as they describe it. A treaty – new obligations contained in a legally-binding agreement – is better for the United States and the international community as a whole. Furthermore, a new climate treaty in Paris can include US participation even if President Obama refuses to sign. Contents: • Why Legally Binding Is Better ◦ Competing Policies and Political Priorities ◦ From Treaty to Domestic Policy ◦ Legitimacy in Domestic and International Law • No US Legal Obstacle to Signature and Ratification • US Could Participate in Paris Treaty as a non-Party I. Why Legally Binding Is Better Legally binding terms, more than voluntary pledges, will compel national leaders to act on climate. But also, the act of agreeing to legally binding commitments will itself be a positive, internationally reinforcing signal that they already feel so compelled. Leaders unwilling to give climate policy the weight of law, in very simple terms, do not want to commit. There are several reasons why it will be better to have a comprehensive treaty that includes mitigation targets, but the first and foremost is that legal commitments will make governments feel more compelled to act than they do now – legally binding obligations will induce ambition over time.

  • International Aviation and the Paris Agreement Temperature Goals
    December 2018 International aviation and the Paris Agreement temperature goals David S. Lee Manchester Metropolitan University, Faculty of Science and Engineering, School of Science and the Environment, John Dalton Building, Chester Street, Manchester M1 5GD. Disclaimer: this report was commissioned by the Department for Transport (DfT), the findings and recommendations are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the views of the DfT. The information or guidance in this document (including third party information, products and services) is provided by DfT on an 'as is' basis, without any representation or endorsement made and without warranty of any kind whether express or implied. Summary Long-term goals for carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from total and international global aviation are considered here in the context of the Paris Agreement, which sets out a goal to hold increases in global mean surface temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels by 2100 and to pursue efforts to limit this increase to 1.5°C. In order to put this into practice, a scientifically-based ‘cumulative carbon budget’ approach is being taken, whereby the cumulative anthropogenic CO2 released scales with the global mean surface temperature response, as shown by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and others. For the Paris Agreement’s goals to be met, large reductions in global greenhouse gas emissions are required. International aviation emissions of CO2 (~65% of the current total from aviation) fall to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), whereas domestic emissions (~35% of the current total from aviation) come under states’ Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

  • Climate Justice Club Presents a Factbook on the Intersection of Social Justice and Environmental and Climate Justice
    The College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University’s Climate Justice Club presents a Factbook on the intersection of social justice and environmental and climate justice. During the summer of 2020, we released the Factbook Unlearning Racist Behaviors in the Climate Activist World, which addresses the intersection of climate justice and environmental racism. The purpose of this factbook is to encourage our audience to utilize the sources in an effort to educate themselves about the disproportionate impact polluting industries have on communities of color. Social Justice in the Environmental Movement: A Factbook to Explore and Learn About the Intersection of Social Justice & Environmental and Climate Justice expands on our past factbook by not only considering how our club’s mission overlaps with racial justice, but with social justice as a whole. Please visit NAACP’s website to learn more about environmental and climate justice. Climate Justice Club encourages you to read through these resources to understand/learn why there is no climate justice without social justice. Please view the Table of Contents to explore the various media presented throughout the Factbook; there are resources for everyone! We believe it is pertinent that we continue educating ourselves and turn this learning into collective action. Share with us the information that stuck out most to you, and promote it on social media! We would like to credit the organization/platform Intersectional Environmentalist for providing some of the resources found throughout the Factbook.

Nair, ProjectuP Abstract The climate has been undergoing a rapid change for the worse, for the past several decades. India, particularly in the last few years, has seen deadly examples of floods, heatwaves, extreme rainfall, thunderstorms, lightning, forest fires, cyclones, etc., to name a few results of increasing global warming and the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which are giving rise to climate change. While some actions are being taken to tackle the problem, it has been noticed that the majority of the human population has been finding reasons to avoid engaging in any work or activity related to climate change. So why is this the case, and why this habit of procrastinating can have deadlier consequences for the human population? This paper aims to analyse how the habit of procrastination in human beings can be related to climate change. The fact that people have been putting off acting on climate change has often been cited as the main reason for the situation of the climate today. Therefore, this paper aims to analyse human thinking behind procrastination and describe how the relationship between youth, procrastination and climate change might not always be intentional.

  • Accounting for Bottom-Up Carbon Trading Under the Paris Agreement
    APRIL 2018 INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING FOR BOTTOM-UP CARBON TRADING UNDER THE PARIS AGREEMENT Andrew Howard, Koru Climate Article 6 of the Paris Agreement recognizes that countries may engage in different forms of international cooperation to achieve climate goals, and prescribes broad conditions for such cooperation if it is to count toward achievement of parties’ nationally determined contributions (NDCs). In particular, Article 6.2 calls for robust accounting to ensure no double counting of internationally transferred mitigation outcomes (IT- MOs). Parties are presently negotiating more detailed accounting guidance, to be adopted at COP 24 in December 2018. In recent years, a growing number of national and subnational governments have entered into formal arrangements governing the transfer of greenhouse gas credits and allowances. These bottom- up arrangements provide an important substrate for the Article 6 accounting guidance. Ideally, the guid- ance can both build on existing trading arrangements and facilitate their future growth. This brief examines the interplay between these top-down and bottom-up elements, and offers recommendations to ensure they work in a complementary fashion to achieve the objectives of Article 6. Market-based climate policy mechanisms can help and plurilateral cooperative approaches under Article strengthen global climate efforts by providing countries 6.2 and activities under the multilateral crediting mecha- access to cost-effective emission reductions abroad, and nism given by Article 6.4. by providing incentives to the private sector for earlier Article 6.2 specifies that countries’ use of coopera- and deeper reductions.
