The International Institute for Environment and
Development (IIED) has reacted to the outcome of the recently held 19th
Conference of Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP19) in
Warsaw, Poland, saying it lacks sense of climate justice, reports NaijaAgroNet.
The COP19 — the 19th Conference of
Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change -- ended on 23
November. Here, IIED's climate change specialists react to the conference
outcomes.
Head,
IIED's climate change group, Dr Simon Anderson, informed NaijaAgroNet that there is no sense
from the outcomes of Warsaw that climate justice is any closer than before the
COP was inaugurated.
The delays, he said, in countries disclosing how they will
reduce greenhouse gas emissions continue has continued unabated.
“It would seem that we are moving almost inevitably to a 4C
degree warmer world. Having been billed as a climate finance COP, Warsaw failed
to deliver,” he said.
Stressing that the need for both finance and disbursal
mechanisms that genuinely reflect and respond to the needs of countries and
people that need to adapt and become more climate resilient is imperative.
He maintained that in the absence of agreement on a mid-term
target and a clear pathway, poor and vulnerable countries are unable to
understand how the developed countries are going to deliver the promised target
of US$100 billion annually by 2020.
“Looking at decisions related to long term finance, developing
countries can see a few gains, but there were reassuring words and little else,"
he noted.
