COP22: Marrakech Action Proclamation
18. november 2016Efter to ugers klimaforhandlinger i Marrakech vedtog 196 lande i dag en The Marrakech Action Proclamation, som en overordnet konklusion på klimakonferencen COP22.
The Marrakech Action Proclamation er en stærk og indtrængende opfordring om at stå sammen om at løse denne verdens nok mest presserende udfordring. Og uanset det amerikanske valgresultat har der i Marrakech været en enestående følelse af vigtigheden af at stå sammen om at løse klimaudfordringen. Donald Trump er således ikke nævnt med en stavelse, men teksten er på mange måder skrevet til ham – eller rettere til hans bedre jeg, hvis et sådant ellers findes.
Efter konferencen i Paris sidste år var der ikke nogen store brændende spørgsmål at afklare, men tværtimod en lang række principbeslutninger fra sidste år, som skulle konkretiseres og instrumentaliseres. Efter sigende er det gået fornemt, og der meldes om fremskridt i samtlige forhandlingsspor.

MARRAKECH ACTION PROCLAMATION
FOR OUR CLIMATE AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
We, Heads of State, Government, and Delegations, gathered in Marrakech, on African soil, for the High-Level Segment of the 22nd Session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the 12th Session of the Conference of the Parties serving as the Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol, and the 1st Session of the Conference of the Parties serving as the Meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement, at the gracious invitation of His Majesty the King of Morocco, Mohammed VI, issue this proclamation to signal a shift towards a new era of implementation and action on climate and sustainable development.
Our climate is warming at an alarming and unprecedented rate and we have an urgent duty to respond.
We welcome the Paris Agreement, adopted under the Convention, its rapid entry into force, with its ambitious goals, its inclusive nature and its reflection of equity and common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities, in the light of different national circumstances, and we affirm our commitment to its full implementation.
Indeed, this year, we have seen extraordinary momentum on climate change worldwide, and in many multilateral fora. This momentum is irreversible – it is being driven not only by governments, but by science, business and global action of all types at all levels.
Our task now is to rapidly build on that momentum, together, moving forward purposefully to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to foster adaptation efforts, thereby benefiting and supporting the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals.
We call for the highest political commitment to combat climate change, as a matter of urgent priority.
