What should we take away from Cancún?

24 January 2011 - Climate Brief - By : Marion Jeulin / Marion Jeulin

The Cancún  Summit, held between November 29thand December 10th 2010, led to a series of decisions relating to the post-2012 international climate change policy. The outcomes  of  the  December  2009  Copenhagen  Accord,  negotiated  by  28  countries, were  legalised  within  the  United  Nations  framework  by  its  194  members,  with  the exception  of  Bolivia.  The  continuance  and  broadening  of  the  market  mechanisms introduced by the Kyoto Protocol seems to be well underway, even if many technical and methodology decisions should be further addressed during the Durban Summit in 2011.

    2030 and Beyond: Budgeting Europe’s Climate Transition

    The next long term EU budget will take us through the 2030 goal posts, by when GHG emissions should be down by 55%. It will also lay the groundwork for investing in a climate-neutral future for the continent towards the yet-to-be agreed objectives for 2040. So, when the European Commission presented its proposal for a €2 trillion multiannual financial framework (MFF) just before the summer break, there was good reason to carefully study the details from the perspective of closing the EU’s climate investment deficit.

    State of EU progress to climate neutrality – ECNO 2025 Flagship report

    Europe is making progress on the clean transition, but the pace is too slow across several parametres. ECNO’s analysis is structured around 13 building blocks of the transition, tracking changes in the six-year trend for nearly 150 indicators and also the expected impact of policies – a new addition to this year’s report. In the 2025 edition, we also analysed the changes through the lens of broader EU objectives, namely competitiveness, resilience, and citizens’ well-being.

    Can the next EU budget point the way to an investment plan for climate transition?

    In July, Commission President von der Leyen announced a €2 trillion EU budget fit “for a new era,” set to launch for a seven-year period in 2028. As EU-watchers in Brussels and beyond scrambled to digest the reams of legislative proposals that followed this headline-grabbing announcement, much in the detail should give pause – especially from the perspective of closing the EU’s climate investment deficit.
