Meanwhile greenhouse gas emissions have risen sharply to break through the 400 parts per million barrier, the UN warns that climate change is already evident and is likely to speed up, causing increasingly serious loss and damage worldwide. Scientists warn, people suffer, activists plead. But governments at UN climate talks remain stuck in a zero-sum approach to negotiating with each other.<\/p>\n<div id=\"article_body\">\n<p>Matters come to a head towards the end of every year when the <a href=\"http:\/\/unfccc.int\/2860.php\">United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change<\/a> (UNFCCC) holds a two-week meeting. Officially called the Conference of Parties (COP), the 2009 summit in Copenhagen had been billed as the defining one, where governments would finally commit to robust curbs on carbon emissions. The failure to get legally binding commitments set back the entire process.<\/p>\n<p>The 2011 COP saw a restart, with a new deadline of 2015 by which governments would negotiate a global deal to combat climate change. Three years later, there are still fundamental disagreements between rich and poor nations on what this deal should contain, what the legal form should be and who will police the whole agreement. This year\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/unfccc.int\/meetings\/lima_dec_2014\/meeting\/8141.php\">COP in Lima<\/a> is meant to put these essential elements in place so that the negotiations can start in earnest. That is what makes this year\u2019s conference particularly important.<\/p>\n<p>Two recent developments \u2013 one negative and one positive \u2013 have provided impetus to the process. The first development, the negative one, is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ipcc.ch\/report\/ar5\/\">fifth assessment report<\/a> of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the global collective of climate scientists and policy analysts. In essence, the IPCC report and a subsequent study by the UN Environment Programme showed:<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Climate change is gathering pace and its effects are becoming increasingly evident, especially through more frequent and increasingly severe storms, floods and droughts.<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Greenhouse gas emissions \u2013 mainly carbon dioxide \u2013 are rising fast. Current voluntary emissions-control commitments by governments fall about 40% short of what is needed to combat climate change effectively.<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Policy options that can correct this course are available and economically feasible, though the cost keeps going up with every day of delay.<\/p>\n<p>The second development is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.state.gov\/r\/pa\/prs\/ps\/2013\/04\/207465.htm\">joint statement<\/a> from Xi Jinping and Barack Obama at the APEC summit, through which China has committed itself to peaking its emissions by 2030, while the US has committed to cut its emissions up to 28% by 2025 from 2005 levels. This is a positive development in climate geopolitics that is expected to propel other governments, though the commitments fall short of what is needed to avoid even more dangerous climate change.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Historical responsibility<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As the December 1-12 COP opens in Lima, the Indian government is still mulling over its reaction to the US-China statement. Along with China, India has traditionally headed the developing country group that has pointed out:<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Since the start of the Industrial Age, rich nations are the ones that have emitted most of the extra carbon dioxide that is in the atmosphere today, causing climate change, so rich nations have to take the primary responsibility for reducing emissions.<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The atmosphere belongs to all, so on a per capita basis rich nations have already taken up far more than their just share of the carbon space; now poor nations cannot be asked to give up their share at the cost of development.<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Rich nations have an obligation to help poor nations move towards a greener economy by providing finances and new technologies free of cost.<\/p>\n<p>Rich nations have not directly denied these charges, but \u2013 led by the US \u2013 have consistently blocked progress on these fronts. The US and other rich countries point out that emerging economies are now major emitters in their own right and that their share of the global total will continue to increase. China is the world\u2019s biggest emitter, US second and India third, although India\u2019s per capita emissions are about one-tenth of those of the US. China\u2019s per capita emissions are just a quarter of US levels, but are rising sharply.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Focus sharpens on India<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>These differences between industrialised and developing countries have been core reasons why climate talks have been largely stalled over the past two decades. Now, uncertain of the extent of support from China, the new Indian government \u2013 which seeks to be more US-friendly \u2013 is still trying to figure out what it has to do.<\/p>\n<p>A veteran Indian government climate negotiator said: \u201cThe Lima COP is where countries will set out their stalls, in preparation for a year of negotiations. We shall do the same, and then see where it leads us.\u201d There are strong indications that at least for the time being, India will make its case along traditional lines. \u00a0India is already talking about the need for a deal in 2015 to add adaptation to the impact of climate, not just emissions reductions. The nation is also pointing to the lack of progress in providing finance and technology transfer, especially in meeting the commitment to provide US$100 billion a year from 2020. And the country\u2019s negotiators in Lima are likely once again to ask rich countries what they are doing to bring down emissions between now and 2020, the year a 2015 deal is supposed to kick in.<\/p>\n<p>As for making its own voluntary commitment, India is unlikely to name an emissions-control target before it has to do so \u2013 there is a March 2015 deadline for all countries to do that \u2013 and the government continues to insist that there must be differentiated responsibility between rich and poor nations in cutting emissions.<\/p>\n<p>There is also the highly-vexed question of who is going to police the commitments expected under the 2015 deal. All countries are sensitive about their sovereignty, but countries will be asked to subject themselves to an international monitoring, reporting and verification regime.<\/p>\n<p>The Lima talks open on a note of ever-increasing urgency \u2013 shown by unprecedented climate marches all over the world this September, which drew thousands of people in the cities where they were held. Public engagement, the US-China deal, and long-awaited climate finance pledges provide the Lima negotiations with a glimmer \u00a0of hope. People are asking if governments can build on this momentum and clear a path through the thorny details that have snagged COP negotiations so far.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Countries are setting out their positions in Lima to negotiate a global climate deal in Paris at the end of next year amid
