Dans cet article publié par l’International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development (ICTSD), Sani Zou (chercheure Finance climat à l’Iddri) dresse un état des lieux des différents éléments qui pourraient être intégrés au futur accord sur le climat : forme juridique de l’accord, objectifs d’atténuation du changement climatique, adaptation au changement climatique, financement de la lutte contre le changement climatique, transparence des contributions des Parties à la Convention Climat, participation d’acteurs non étatiques aux efforts de lutte contre le changement climatique et à leur financement.

"Climate and development finance are intrinsically linked, and climate change is one of the proposed SDGs, according to a list put forward by a specialised UN group last July. In order to maximise synergies and balance trade-offs between adaptation, mitigation, and other development objectives, enhanced co-ordination between these processes will be crucial to effectively implement the respective international aims in the years ahead. The fundamental objective of the Paris agreement will be to re-engineer a global, systemic change in line with the two degree Celsius warming ceiling. International policy co-ordination will be important to maximise mitigation and adaptation potentials. For example, mutual economic gains can be increased from the co-ordinated removal of trade tariffs and non-tariff barriers on low-carbon, climate-resilient technologies. In a worst case scenario, uncoordinated climate policies with implications on economic competitiveness could lead to sub-optimal outcomes for parties potentially descending into trade wars, as illustrated by the spat over solar PV production and commerce between China and the EU. There is thus a need for a close alignment between the climate governance and the trade governance agenda."
