Reflections on international climate change policy. The Kyoto Surprise Revisited. December 18, 2009. In the final hours of the Kyoto Protocol talks in 1997, when negotiators were as tired and grumpy as they are sure to be tonight and tomorrow, the parties struck a compromise for financing emissions reductions called the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). Where communities of wastepickers and informal recyclers, some of the poorest citizens in the country, have been thrown into competition for garbage wit...

Reflections on international climate change policy. What progress was made. December 27, 2009. If leaders waste no time to build upon the breakthroughs, personally engaging in bilateral talks, Copenhagen will be seen in hindsight as a teachable moment on the way to a true agreement. The most intriguing development was on the protections of forests, from which 20 percent of global CO2 emissions are emitted through deforestation. Why now? And the pieces fell into place. Many details need to be worked o...

Reflections on international climate change policy. Many Fletcher alum in Copenhagen. January 4, 2010. My time at COP-15 was like a fast roller coaster ride. Emotions and moods went up and down, hour to hour. The entire two weeks sped along the rails extremely fast. Then it was over. Demonstrating the far reaching nature of the Fletcher School, I attended COP-15 for several different reasons: to analyze proposed texts (drafts of possible treaties or accords) using the C-ROADS model.

Not as expected | considering copenhagen

Reflections on international climate change policy. December 20, 2009. This week did not quite turn out as expected. Why? But it was the next day that was far beyond unbelievable. Knowing that we wouldn’t be the only ones wanting to enter the Bella, we left our hotel 5.40am only to find a queue of many hundreds if not thousands of people. Beyond that layed the main plenary, the enormous press center and the many, many work group, meeting and side event rooms. Although people were still only being let...

Reflections on international climate change policy. It’s the Process, Stupid! December 21, 2009. By Mukhtar Amin, with contributions from Kelly Sims Gallagher. The Danes appeared to be so focused on engaging the United States that they lost sight of the big picture, and especially how angry developing countries would be if they felt they were being ignored in the one institutional setting where they have a voice. To alienate the largest emitter in the world, China, was a colossal strategic error. Emissio...

Reflections on international climate change policy. My first day in Copenhagen: Inside-Out CoP. December 15, 2009. There are two times this year that. In a packed crowd in sub-freezing weather for over 8 hours with no access to food, water, or restrooms. The first was on January 20th when I tromped down to the mall in Washington, DC before daybreak to get as close as possible to the momentous event: the inauguration of President Obama. It was a joyous, albeit exhausting event. At one point, when I introd...

Reflections on international climate change policy. Side events by IETA. December 17, 2009. Holding the coveted secondary badge. My biggest doubt about this market is who are the buyers for these credits? December 14, 2009. We’ve all arrived at the airport, with an hour before our plane takes off to Copenhagen and the excitement is palpable. For the past week I’ve been glued to my computer screen reading the International Institute of Sustainable Development’s (IISD) daily Earth Bulletin. Follow “c...

Reflections on international climate change policy. Evolution of a Stronger African Coalition. December 18, 2009. Emissions by 2050 compared to 1990, and by extension that developed countries reduce their emissions by at least 80%. The proposal is silent on midterm targets, probably because the African Group and the French could not agree on a specific number;. Strong commitment on long-term financing for mitigation and adaptation in developing countries. These funds would be in the tune of $100 bill...
