Kyoto to Paris: Evolution or involution of international negotiations on climate change? (DIEEEO61-2015)

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1992 and the 1997 Kyoto Protocol represent the response of the international community to the challenge of climate change. The next Conference of the Parties (COP 21) on both will take place in December 2015 in Paris and should represent a real turning point in the evolution of the international agreement. To get a successful conclusion it will require overcoming the current lack of support and confidence between the parties.
The first part of this paper focuses on the evolution of the international negotiations on climate change. Then, it presents the positions of the various negotiating groups and the main issues that will be on the table during the Paris Conference, with particular emphasis on the legal nature of the instrument resulting from the Conference and the content of the obligations relating to mitigation and adaptation to Climate Change.
