The Paris Agreement: Rebooting Climate Cooperation ∙ Evaluation of the Paris Climate Agreement According to a Global Standard of Transparency journal article

Anne-Sophie Tabau

Carbon & Climate Law Review, Volume 10 (2016), Issue 1, Page 23 - 33

The legal analysis of the COP 21, its results and prospects they open proposed in this paper is done according to a standard of transparency, in the context of a complex governance, that the theory of global administrative law aims to better understand. This assessment shows that the balance between transparency and opacity, intelligibility, effectiveness or efficiency is both delicate to establish and unstable. If the way the cursor was positioned under the Paris Agreement may seem unsatisfactory, it must not be forgotten that it is intended to evolve.



Willing Power, Fearing Responsibilities: BASIC in the Climate Negotiations journal article

Anne-Sophie Tabau, Marion Lemoine

Carbon & Climate Law Review, Volume 6 (2012), Issue 3, Page 197 - 208

This paper considers the rise of the BASIC bloc of emerging economies (Brazil, South Africa, India and China) and its influence in pursuing the adoption of an international agreement on climate change acceptable for all countries. It first questions the mere existence of BASIC as a negotiation group. Indeed, whereas the BASIC bloc is now a reality, BASIC countries do not formally want to be distinguished from the Global South. The study tries to explain this equivocal matter of fact by decoding the perimeter and dynamics of BASIC. It also analyses what would be a balanced outcome of climate change negotiations from BASIC’s point of view, through the three challenges any future agreement will have to take up, namely legitimacy, equity and effectiveness. It appears that BASIC may be considered in a transitive phase regarding the climate change issue. BASIC countries seem to want more power but to fear responsibilities. Therefore, they find it much more comfortable to experience their evolving status as parts of a group of other growing actors of international climate negotiations.

The sixteenth session of the AWG-KP (AWG-KP 16) and the fourteenth session of the AWG-LCA (AWG-LCA 14), as well as three workshops pursuant to the Cancún Agreements, took place from 3 to 8 April 2011 in Bangkok. The first workshop aimed at clarifying the assumptions and conditions related to the attainment of quantified economywide emission reduction targets by developed country parties.1 It included issues such as the use of carbon credits from market-based mechanisms and land use, land-use change and forestry activities (LULUCF), as well as options to increase the level of ambition.

One year after the resounding shortcomings of the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference, expectations for the Cancún Climate Change Conference, which took place from 29 November to 11 December 2011, were modest. The purpose of this meeting was mainly to restore confidence in the United Nation process as well as between Parties and to agree on a “balanced package of outcomes”.
