英文摘要 | 3 part blog series:
In Part I of this blog, we set out the enabling conditions for climate action this year. With these in place, the stage is set for ambitious climate action. But what exactly does this mean? Broadly speaking, the benchmarks for climate progress in 2021 divide into four pillars: mitigation, addressing climate vulnerability, shifting finance, and laying the foundations for the 2020s. We examine these further here. Mitigation: 2021 should significantly narrow the gap between where emissions need to be in 2030 to limit warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels – which entails a -45% emissions reduction from 2010 levels – and where current efforts are heading: a measly -1% reduction. This means: 1. More ambitious near-term, 2030, emissions reduction commitments, not just mid-century net zero targets, both from the countries like the USA and China who didn’t submit updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) last year, and from those who didn’t raise ambition like Australia, Brazil, and Japan. 2. Targets underpinned by credible policies to deliver new ambition, particularly in areas where the UK COP26 Presidency is leading campaigns for action, namely:
Addressing climate vulnerability: 2021 should see a step-change in action on climate adaptation and support for climate vulnerable countries. This means leaders demonstrating their understanding of the collective risks of climate change, both in statements issued through the G7 and G20, but also through taking concrete actions to address these risks such as:
Shifting finance: As well as opening a window of opportunity for long-lasting systemic reforms, 2021 can also be a year for securing iconic finance wins that signal a fundamental and permanent shift in market behaviour. Such signals could be sent by bold moves including:
Laying the foundations for the 2020s: Above and beyond finalising an agreement on the Paris rulebook, COP26 negotiations must address the gaps to meeting the Paris Agreement’s aims across the above three outcomes. This means leaders making political commitments and negotiating decisions in the final Glasgow agreements that strengthen the implementation of the Paris ambition ratcheting cycle throughout the 2020s and connect the wider international governance architecture. So how can all these be delivered? Find out in the final part of this blog series: Part III – The Rhythm of 2021. |
