A new analysis of the scientific and policy aspects of the 1.5°C temperature limit in the Paris Agreement’s long-term temperature goal has identified a number of important areas that require more scientific research. I. The principle of “Common but Differentiated Responsibilities”, or CBDR, has been crucial within the UNFCCC climate negotiations. This analysis, done at the request of the Chair of Least Developed Countries Group, covers the NDCs of the 47 LDCs through a systematic review of their mitigation, adaptation, loss and damage, and means of implementation components. We’ve created an information pool for material to help answer some key questions about the 1.5°C temperature goal in the run up to COP21:Supporting science based policy to prevent dangerous Project Period: 2011 - 2012  This initiative aims to support negotiators from the least developed countries (LDCs) who are participating in progressive coalitions, based on their requests. The analysis, written by a team of scientists who have published key research papers on the science, impacts and policy aspects of the 1.5˚C limit, is a centrepiece of a collection by Nature Climate Change, Nature Geoscience and Nature on 'Targeting 1.5°C'  Following adoption of the Paris Agreement, a number of questions have been raised related to signature, ratification and entry into force of the Paris Agreement, some practical, some strategic. A new analysis of the scientific and policy aspects of the 1.5°C temperature limit in the Paris Agreement’s long-term temperature goal has identified a number of important areas that require more scientific research. Project analysing the advantages and disadvantages of different forms of commitments and assessing which level of ambition can be expected from selected 15 industrialised, emerging and developing countries. That is the upshot of two independent analyses, by the Marshall Islands foreign ministry and consultancy Climate Analytics.

Science underpinning the global treaty aiming to stop average temperatures rising more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels needs more research. Project Period: 2012  Climate Analytics provides analytical support to NGOs. 1. Climate News Network's Alex Kirby in Climate Home on our latest research around the 1.5˚C long term temperature limit. State of Climate Change and its Impact in Nepal 13 ... Parties on communication of information, supports negotiations, and coordinates with ... Parties negotiate and agree on ways and means … Enshrined in the Convention text, it recognises that the problem of climate change is shared by all countries, but that different countries bear different levels of responsibility for cutting emissions. Its objective is to prevent dangerous man-made interferencewith the global climate system. Climate negotiations terminology: the pocket guide. The temperature goals established by the Paris climate agreement could affect the planet in dramatically different ways. The Paris climate deal is a hair’s breadth away from meeting the criteria to enter into force in 2016. Article about the findings in a recent paper by Climate Analytics' Carl Schleussner. After decades of negotiations, all 197 nations in the world agreed to voluntarily cut the heat-trapping pollution that is causing the climate crisis. Brexit unlikely to slow momentum towards global climate deal coming into force, with EU left to tackle complex negotiations with UK. Short summary of the 10 key messages from the final report of the Structured Expert Dialogue  The term ‘climate neutrality’ is currently resonating in the climate policy arena and is included in the collective mitigation goal (Article 3.1) of the draft Paris Agreement. Project Period: 2013 - 2016  Implemented under a collaborative framework, this project is designed to provide specific analytical, scientific and strategic information and support to strengthen the capacity of Least Developed Countries (LDCs). A close look at this relatively new and scientifically ill defined term and its potential implications reveals a fundamental risk that this term will be used to undermine efforts to reduce CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions and be used to introduce dangerous geo-engineering approaches into the climate regime. Our areas of expertise include: Development of new climate agreement Climate Analytics works closely with LDC s and SIDS to support their participation in the UNFCCC negotiations and other multilateral climate negotiations and fora relevant to achieving a new climate agreement in 2015.
