Klimaforhandlinger i Bonn 3.-14. juni
3. juni 2013
I dagene 3.-14. juni er delegationer fra så godt som alle verdens lande igen samlet til klimaforhandlinger i Bonn. Målet er at komme nærmere en afklaring af det konkrete indhold af den globale klimaaftale, som der for halvandet år siden i Durban blev nået enighed om skulle ligge klar fra 2015 med virkning fra 2020. Der vil således ikke blive truffet store beslutninger i denne runde, som på mange måder er forberedende til COP19 i Warszawa 11.-22. november, men det er i høj grad ved disse mellemliggende samlinger, at det egentlige arbejde foregår.
Ved den seneste samling i Bonn i begyndelsen af maj var forhandlingsklimaet sjældent konstruktivt (se blog-indlægget Forhandlinger i Bonn 29.04.-03.05.), og alle synes i denne fase at være indstillet på at nå det bedst mulige resultat. Så selvom meget endnu kan komme på tværs, så tegner det her ved optakten til næste runde i Bonn til, at det vil lykkes at få en aftale på plads til underskrivelse ved COP21 i Paris i slutningen af 2015.
Der er således grund til en form for optimisme. Ikke bare fordi det ser ud til, at UNFCCCs klimaforhandlingsspor, som er grundlagt helt tilbage ved Rio-konferencen i 1992, endelig kommer til at bære frugt, men nok så meget fordi der rundt omkring i verden bliver taget skridt til at håndtere klimaudfordringen. Sydkorea har på det seneste meldt ud, at man arbejder på etableringen af et kvotemarked, som sigter på at nedbringe udledningerne med 30% inden 2020 (se blog-indlægget Sydkorea på vej med ambitiøs kvotelovgivning). Kina har signaleret, at man er indstillet på bindende reduktioner (se blog-indlægget Kina indstillet på bindende klimamål). Det har man nu gjort tidligere, men efter en afvisende fase, er det på banen igen, og det ser lige nu ud til, at Kina når at få et egentligt landsdækkende kvotemarked klar til indkøring som del af den næste femårsplan. I en nylig oversigt udarbejdet af ECOFYS for Verdensbanken var der etableret (eller ved at blive etableret) kvotemarkeder og/eller CO2-afgifter i 40 lande og 20 (del)stater i verden.¹ De spænder vidt, fra Californiens nyetablerede kvotemarked, som kun gælder kun for en enkelt delstat (se blog-indlægget Californien indfører CO2-kvotesystem), til EUs kvotesystem, som omfatter størstedelen af Europa.
Og selvom vi stadig mangler at se, om Obama mener sine vidtløftige ord om den amerikanske klimaindsats dertil, at han rent faktisk gør noget, så var det interessant at erfare, at USA og Kina i april aftalte et tæt samarbejde omkring klimaindsatsen og bestræbelser på at samordne de fremtidige kinesiske og amerikanske kvotemarkeder og klimaindsatser i de hele taget. Kina og USA repræsenterer tilsammen 40% af verdens samlede udledninger, og begge lande har indtil nu ofte været at finde blandt de store sten i skoene på vejen mod den globale klimaaftale. Så samtidig med, at det giver en risiko for, at vigtige beslutninger tages uden for UNFCCCs forhandlingsproces, så er det er glædeligt, at der er taget hul på denne akse. Senest er Kinas og USAs chefforhandlere Xie Zhenhua og Todd Stern her i de allerseneste dage mødtes her i Bonn for at forberede mødet mellem de to landes præsidenter, Xi og Obama i Californien sidst i denne uge.
Selvom det med det nuværende republikanske flertal i den amerikanske kongres, som er fastkørt i skinger klimafornægtelse, kan være svært at se, hvordan noget som helst konstruktivt vil kunne lade sig gøre i USA, så arbejder Obama-adminstrationen tilsyneladende målrettet på en situation på den anden side heraf, hvor klimafornægtelsen er endeligt brudt sammen.
Om den aftale, man ender med at kunne enes om, så vil være tilstrækkelig til at afbøde de værste klimaforandringer og sikre mod, at vi når tipping points, hvorfra klimaforandringerne bliver selvaccelererende, er et andet spørgsmål. To grupper ved klimaforhandlingerne, gruppen af verdens fattigste lande og gruppen af østater, tager stadig indimellem hul på diskussionen, om den nuværende målsætning på max 450 ppm / 2ºC er tilstrækkelig til at sikre verdens mange lavtliggende øriger mod at forsvinde under havet overflade og eksistensvilkårene mod at smuldre yderligere på grund af klimaforandringer i verdens fattigste lande, som gennemgående er – og vil blive – langt hårdere ramt af klimaforandringer end de industrialiserede lande.
Der bliver indimellem refereret til dette ambition gap – at det, som man er indstillet på at gøre, ikke på nogen måde matcher den nødvendige samlede indsats. UNEP anslog for nylig, at verdens samlede CO2-udledninger i 2020 ville være 58 Gt og stigende, hvor de burde være nede på 44 Gt og for nedadgående, hvis vi skal have en chance for at klare målsætningen på 2°C. Samtidig presser østaterne og de fattigste lande (AOSIS og LDC) igen på for med det vi i dag ved om, hvor alvorlige klimaforandringer vi ar fået med blot 1°C, at målsætningen for den globale klimaindsats skærpes til max 1½°C.
Men efter snart 20 års klimaforhandlinger er det politiske spændingsfelt blevet så komplekst og så meget sit eget, at det indimellem kniber for politikerne at indse, at naturen og klimaet ikke står til forhandling, at en klimaaftales succes må vurderes på virkeligheden uden for forhandlingsbordene – i vores evne til at restabilisere det globale klima. Kun ved at vedtage – og gennemføre – en klimaindsats med den nødvendige ambition, kan vi undgå, at vi alle bliver tabere.
