United Nations Climate Change Conference from 7 to 18, will be opened in the Danish capital Copenhagen. International negotiations on climate change “three evil forces”, one of the European Union tried to play a “local war” advantage, looking forward to the 2012 “Kyoto Protocol” commitment period after the expiry of the first global agreement on greenhouse gas emissions.

However, the current situation, the European Union not only with the position of other developed and developing countries there are distinct differences, and its internal hard time getting a unified stance, highlights the climate negotiations, the arduous tasks.

Target a large gap between the United States had to bargain

The EU proposed in 2007 to strive for by 2020 greenhouse gas emissions by 1990 based on the reduction of 20%, and expressed willingness to join with other developed countries, the medium-term emission reduction targets will be increased to 30%.

According to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates that the medium-term emission reduction targets of developed countries should reach 25% to 40%, in order to avoid global warming to dangerous levels.

Although the EU’s emission reduction targets with the requirement that there are still a considerable gap, but it is self-appointed climate change “standard-bearer,” and, more recently pressured the United States repeatedly urged the U.S. to take more forceful action.

Until recently, the United States was committed to the 2020 greenhouse gas emissions by 2005 based on the reduction of 17%, equivalent to only reduce emissions in 1990, on the basis of 4%, and a far cry from the expectations of the European Union. Is expected that this climate change conference the two sides still missed some bargaining.

Tan Tan Aid Niuniunienie overly stringent requirements

At the same time, the EU made excessive demands on developing countries, as well as in the provision of financial, technical and other assistance, “Niuniunienie” will also become an obstacle to the negotiation process, an important factor.

According to “United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change,” establish “common but differentiated responsibilities” principle, developed countries should commit to specific emission reduction targets, while developing countries there is no mandatory emission reduction obligations. However, some developed countries including the European Union have tried to use the 2012 “Kyoto Protocol” commitment period expires first, put aside the “Kyoto Protocol” reinvent the wheel, to sign a replace the “Kyoto Protocol” of the new agreement, aimed at forcing the development of CUHK also accepted mandatory emission reduction obligations. This is not acceptable to developing countries.

Shift the burden of historical responsibility for emissions reduction to shirk

Moreover, the European Commission also claimed that not only the developed countries for developing countries cope with climate change, international assistance, the economy is relatively advanced developing countries should also contribute. An attempt to evade European Union developed countries, the historical responsibility for global warming, and some of the burden passed on to the rapid rise of the developing countries.

Developing countries consider that the developed countries on global warming an inescapable historical responsibility, should help developing countries eradicate related consequences.

However, in providing developing countries with financial and technical support to help them reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to climate change, the EU has not yet come up with the satisfaction of the developing world, “quote.” This became the current climate negotiations encountered a major obstacle.

Assessed contribution schedule postponed again and again no clue

According to the EU Commission estimates that by 2020, developing countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the devastating impact of climate change, required annually of around 100 billion euros of funds. But the EU has neither a statement of its share of funding.

The European Commission put forward in September this year, a proposal advocated, from 2013 to 2020, the EU will come up with an annual average of 2 billion to 15 billion euros to help developing countries. This was a spokesman for Greenpeace criticized as only a “tip” only.

By the end of October this year, the EU summit, EU leaders will be funded simply decided to defer to the Copenhagen climate change conference, and requirements and other interested parties amounts of capital to match.

The EU delay on the funding issue come up with a straightforward decision to a large extent, also there are serious differences within the EU, in particular, among the Member States how to share the funding be a problem.

Within the EU like this, at the international level in order to reach a financing agreement must be even more difficult climate.

The face of difficulties, President of the Conference in Copenhagen, the Danish climate and energy minister Kangniheze Gao has still stressed, it is now to make a choice on the issue of climate change when. But she hinted that this meeting may not be as direct as the European Union had hoped to conclude a binding international agreement, but only worked out when the latest timetable for the completion of the agreement.

Hedegaard will soon become the first ever European Union commissioner in charge of climate. She said that leaders must be committed to the four to make progress on fundamental issues: In order to developed countries to establish a binding and long-term emission reduction targets, developing countries should have a green action plan, climate financing and technology transfer.
