What is the Paris Agreement and its essential elements? / Qu’est-ce que l'accord de Paris
et en quoi consiste-t-il ?

The Paris Agreement, adopted in December 2015, is a landmark international treaty that aims
to address the urgent global issue of climate change. It was negotiated under the United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) during the 21st Conference of
the Parties (COP 21) held in Paris, France. The agreement represents a collective effort by
the international community to combat climate change and mitigate its impacts.

At its core, the Paris Agreement seeks to limit the rise in global average temperature well
below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and pursue efforts to limit the increase to
1.5 degrees Celsius. This temperature goal is crucial in order to avoid the most severe and
irreversible impacts of climate change on ecosystems, societies, and economies.

One of the key elements of the Paris Agreement is the concept of Nationally Determined
Contributions (NDCs). Each country is required to prepare and communicate its NDC,
outlining its specific actions, targets, and policies to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and
adapt to climate change. The agreement emphasizes that these contributions should be
ambitious and represent a progression over time. Initially, countries submitted their intended
NDCs, and they are expected to regularly update and enhance their commitments every five
years.

The Paris Agreement also establishes a global stocktaking process to assess collective
progress towards achieving the long-term temperature goal. This involves reviewing and
evaluating the efforts of individual countries, as well as the overall progress of global
emissions reductions and adaptation measures. The stocktaking process aims to enhance
transparency, accountability, and cooperation among nations.

Transparency and accountability are crucial components of the agreement. Countries are
required to regularly report on their emissions and efforts in implementing their NDCs. This
transparency fosters trust among nations and enables them to hold each other accountable.
The agreement establishes a framework for providing information on emissions, progress,
and support received or provided for climate action.

Climate finance is another significant element of the Paris Agreement. Developed countries
are encouraged to provide financial resources to support developing countries in their efforts
to mitigate and adapt to climate change. The agreement sets a goal to mobilize $100 billion
per year by 2020, with a commitment to further increase financial flows in subsequent years.
This financing is crucial to help developing countries transition to low-carbon and
climate-resilient pathways.

The agreement also recognizes the importance of technology transfer and capacity building.
It encourages countries to cooperate on technology research, development, and deployment
to enable effective climate action. Capacity building support is provided to help developing
countries enhance their skills and capabilities in addressing climate change.

Lastly, the Paris Agreement acknowledges that some impacts of climate change are
unavoidable and may result in loss and damage, particularly in vulnerable developing
countries. It establishes a mechanism to enhance understanding, support, and cooperation in
addressing loss and damage associated with the impacts of climate change.

Collectively, these essential elements form the foundation of the Paris Agreement, guiding
global efforts towards combating climate change, promoting sustainable development, and
creating a more resilient and sustainable future for all. The agreement reflects the
recognition that addressing climate change requires international cooperation and the
engagement of all countries, taking into account their different historical responsibilities and
capacities.

What is the IPCC ? / Qu’est-ce que le GIEC ?


The IPCC, known as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, is an international
scientific organization created by the United Nations in 1988. Its primary purpose is to
provide policymakers with comprehensive assessments of climate change based on the
latest scientific research. The IPCC brings together thousands of scientists from around the
world who review and synthesize existing climate science literature. Through its assessment
reports, the IPCC offers policymakers a clear understanding of the current state of climate
change, its impacts, and potential mitigation and adaptation strategies. These reports play a
crucial role in shaping climate policies and actions at global, regional, and national levels,
helping societies make informed decisions to address the challenges of climate change.

What are the three IPCC working groups of the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6)?
Quels sont les thèmes des trois groupes de travail du sixième rapport d’évaluation (AR6) du
GIEC ?

The Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) consists of three working groups:

1. Working Group I (WG I): This group focuses on the physical science basis of climate
change. It assesses the latest understanding of the Earth's climate system, including
the drivers of climate change, observed changes in the atmosphere, oceans,
cryosphere, and land, as well as projections of future climate conditions.
2. Working Group II (WG II): This group examines the impacts, vulnerability, and
adaptation to climate change. It assesses how climate change affects natural and
human systems, including ecosystems, water resources, food security, human health,
and socio-economic sectors. The WG II report also explores strategies for adapting to
and reducing the risks associated with climate change.
3. Working Group III (WG III): This group focuses on mitigation of climate change. It
assesses the options and measures available to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
and limit the magnitude of climate change. The WG III report covers various sectors,
such as energy, transportation, industry, agriculture, and land use, and examines the
potential for implementing sustainable practices and transitioning to low-carbon and
climate-resilient pathways.

Each working group contributes a specific perspective to the overall assessment of climate
change in the AR6. Their reports undergo a thorough review process involving experts and
governments to ensure scientific rigor and policy relevance. The combined findings and
recommendations of these working groups provide a comprehensive understanding of
climate change and inform global efforts to address its challenges.
What are the findings and the predictions of the IPCC?
Quelles sont les conclusions et les prévisions du GIEC AR6 ?
See links above and IPCC Climate Change 2021 (Sous-titres en français)

1. Crop yields of maize, wheat, and rice will decrease due to global warming, even in
Europe. The reduction in yields will be more significant at +2°C compared to +1.5°C.
2. The warming will have direct impacts on human health, including increased mortality
from heatwaves and the spread of diseases carried by mosquitoes such as malaria
and dengue.
3. A temperature increase of +1.5°C will result in the disappearance of over half of the
territories for 6% of insects, 8% of plants, and 4% of vertebrates studied, with serious
consequences for ecosystems. These numbers are multiplied by 2 or 3 at +2°C. Coral
reefs will be destroyed by over 99%, leading to the extinction of marine species.
4. The sea level is projected to rise by 10 cm by 2100, with continued rise beyond that
time. Preventing further sea-level rise is no longer possible.
5. The report emphasizes that human actions have already caused a 1°C increase in
average temperature compared to pre-industrial levels. The consequences of climate
change are already evident, including the shrinking of Arctic sea ice and melting
glaciers.
6. If emissions continue at their current rate, a warming of 1.5°C will likely be reached
between 2030 and 2050 and continue in the second half of the century.
7. The commitments made by countries under the Paris Agreement, even if fully
implemented, will not be sufficient to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
8. The impacts of climate change become more severe with each half-degree increase in
temperature. Economic consequences include increased risks of extreme weather
events and their associated costs.
9. Vulnerable regions, including the Arctic Ocean and developing countries, will be most
affected by climate risks, leading to a massive impact on poverty. In France, the risk of
flooding is higher at +2°C than at +1.5°C.
10. Other consequences include negative effects on fishing, access to water, agriculture,
and indirect impacts such as famines, water scarcity, and population displacement.
11. To limit global warming to 1.5°C, emissions must be reduced by 50% by 2030 and
reach net-zero by 2050. To limit it to 2°C, emissions must be reduced by 25% by 2030
and achieve net-zero by 2070.
12. Achieving these emission reductions requires significant investments in energy
efficiency, consumption reduction, renewable energy, carbon capture and storage, and
the preservation and restoration of ecosystems.
13. The cost of investments to limit global warming to 1.5°C is estimated to be around
$2.4 trillion per year between 2016 and 2035, approximately 2.5% of global GDP.

What is our carbon budget ? / Quel est notre budget carbone ?


What is the carbon budget?, From Emissions to Global Warming, Carbon Budget 2020, Carbon Countdown

The Earth's carbon budget refers to the total amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions that
can be released into the atmosphere while still keeping global temperature rise within a
certain limit. It represents the cumulative emissions that the planet can tolerate without
exceeding a specific threshold.

In this case, the carbon budget is stated to be 2,900 gigatonnes (Gt) of CO2. This means that,
in order to maintain a specific temperature target, such as limiting global warming to 1.5 or 2
degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, the total emissions of CO2 must not exceed this
threshold.

According to the information provided, in 2017, the world had already emitted 2,200
gigatonnes of CO2. This indicates that a significant portion of the carbon budget had been
utilized, leaving a smaller margin for future emissions before reaching the desired
temperature limit.

The figures highlight the urgency to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition to more
sustainable practices in order to stay within the carbon budget and mitigate the impacts of
climate change. By understanding and effectively managing the carbon budget, we can make
informed decisions and take necessary actions to safeguard the planet's climate and ensure
a sustainable future.

What are the actual global GHG emissions ? What are the different sources of GHG ? For
which use ? / Quelles sont les émissions mondiales actuelles de GES ? Quelles sont les
sources de ces émissions ? Pour quels usages ?

What are the actual global GHG emissions?

1. Global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reached approximately 52.7 gigatonnes of


carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO2e) in 2019, according to the IPCC's 6th Assessment
Report.

What are the different sources of GHG?


The main sources of GHG emissions are:
a) Energy Sector: Fossil fuel combustion for electricity, heat, and transportation.
b) Agriculture: Methane emissions from livestock and rice cultivation, and nitrous oxide
emissions from fertilizers.
c) Land Use and Forestry: Deforestation and land-use changes contribute to emissions.
d) Industrial Processes: Emissions from manufacturing, cement production, and chemical
reactions.

2. e) Waste Management: Methane emissions from landfills and wastewater treatment.

For which use are GHGs emitted?


GHG emissions arise from various human activities, including:
a) Energy Production: Burning fossil fuels for electricity, heating, and transportation.
b) Agriculture and Livestock: Emissions from livestock digestion, manure management, and
fertilizer use.
c) Land Use and Deforestation: Clearing land for agriculture, logging, and urbanization.
d) Industrial Processes: Emissions from chemical reactions and manufacturing activities.

3. e) Waste Management: Improper waste disposal and landfill emissions.

It's important to note that these emissions contribute to the accumulation of GHGs in the
atmosphere, leading to climate change and its associated impacts. The IPCC conducts
comprehensive assessments of GHG emissions and their sources to inform policymakers
and develop strategies for mitigating climate change.
Which countries are responsible of the current CO2 emissions ? What are the differences
with the cumulative emissions ?
Quels sont les pays responsables des émissions actuelles de CO2 ? Quelles sont les
différences avec les émissions cumulées ?

When it comes to current CO2 emissions, the largest emitters can vary depending on the
time frame considered. However, historically, the top contributors to global CO2 emissions
are generally the following countries:

1. China: China has been the largest emitter of CO2 in recent years due to its rapid
industrialization and extensive use of coal for energy production.
2. United States: The United States has historically been one of the largest emitters of
CO2, primarily due to its high energy consumption and reliance on fossil fuels.
3. India: With its growing population and expanding economy, India has experienced a
significant increase in CO2 emissions in recent years, driven by industrial
development and increased energy demand.
4. Russia: Russia is a major emitter of CO2 due to its extensive use of fossil fuels,
particularly in the oil and gas industry.
5. Japan: Japan is a highly industrialized nation and relies on a mix of fossil fuels and
nuclear energy, making it one of the significant contributors to global CO2 emissions.

It's important to note that while these countries are currently the largest emitters, the
responsibility for cumulative emissions over time is different. Cumulative emissions refer to
the total amount of CO2 emitted by a country since the beginning of industrialization. In this
case, countries with a longer history of industrialization and higher levels of historical
emissions tend to have larger cumulative emissions. This includes countries such as the
United States, European nations, and other developed countries that have been
industrializing for a longer period.

It's worth mentioning that recent efforts are being made to address global emissions through
international agreements like the Paris Agreement, which aims to mitigate climate change by
reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable practices globally.

Characteristics of Most Polluting Countries:

1. Reliance on Fossil Fuels: Many of the most polluting countries heavily rely on fossil
fuels for their energy production. They often have significant reserves or production of
oil, natural gas, or coal, leading to high carbon emissions.
2. Industrialization and Energy Intensity: These countries may have highly industrialized
economies with energy-intensive sectors, such as manufacturing, mining, or heavy
industries. The energy demands of these sectors contribute to higher emissions.
3. Limited Renewable Energy Adoption: Most polluting countries may have a slower
adoption rate of renewable energy sources like solar, wind, or hydroelectric power.
This reliance on non-renewable energy contributes to higher emissions.
4. Large Population and Urbanization: Some of the most polluting countries have a high
population, often concentrated in urban areas. Urbanization and population density
can lead to increased energy consumption and transportation emissions.
5. Economic Factors: These countries may have high levels of economic development,
leading to increased energy consumption and emissions. Industries and affluent
lifestyles contribute to higher carbon footprints.

Characteristics of "Cleaner" Countries:

1. Renewable Energy Investments: Cleaner countries tend to prioritize and invest in


renewable energy sources. They may have implemented policies and incentives to
encourage the adoption of solar, wind, hydro, and other renewable sources.
2. Energy Efficiency Measures: Cleaner countries often focus on improving energy
efficiency in industries, buildings, and transportation. This includes using
energy-efficient technologies, promoting public transportation, and implementing
energy-saving regulations.
3. Environmental Policies and Climate Commitments: Cleaner countries usually have
strong environmental policies, including emissions reduction targets, carbon pricing
mechanisms, and participation in international agreements like the Paris Agreement.
4. Research and Innovation: These countries often invest in research and development of
clean technologies and sustainable practices. They support innovation in areas such
as renewable energy, energy storage, and carbon capture and storage.
5. Conscious Consumption and Waste Management: Cleaner countries may have a
culture of sustainable consumption, waste reduction, and recycling. They promote
awareness of environmental issues and implement effective waste management
strategies.
It's important to acknowledge that this is a general comparison, and individual countries may
have unique factors contributing to their emissions levels. Furthermore, countries can evolve
and change their environmental policies and practices over time.

10 years UN REDD programme, Le petit livre du REDD+, REDD Finance, The importance of Mangroves

What is the REDD+ programme? / Qu’est-ce que le programme REDD+ ?

The REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) program is a
global initiative aimed at combating climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions
from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries. It is an extension of the
original REDD program, which focused primarily on reducing emissions from deforestation.

The REDD+ program goes beyond deforestation and includes additional activities such as the
conservation and sustainable management of forests, enhancement of forest carbon stocks,
and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits derived from forest resources. The "+" in REDD+
signifies the broader scope of the program.

The main objective of REDD+ is to create financial incentives for developing countries to
protect and sustainably manage their forests, which are valuable carbon sinks. By providing
financial rewards for reducing deforestation and promoting sustainable forest management,
the program aims to contribute to global climate change mitigation efforts.

The REDD+ program operates through a results-based payment system, where developing
countries receive financial incentives based on the results they achieve in reducing emissions
from deforestation and forest degradation. The funds are often provided by developed
countries, international organizations, or other sources committed to supporting climate
change mitigation and forest conservation efforts.

In addition to its climate change mitigation benefits, the REDD+ program also recognizes the
importance of safeguarding the rights and livelihoods of local communities and indigenous
peoples who depend on forests for their well-being. It emphasizes the need for the full and
effective participation of these communities in decision-making processes related to forest
management and the sharing of benefits from REDD+ activities.
Overall, the REDD+ program aims to address deforestation and forest degradation as
significant drivers of climate change, while also promoting sustainable development and the
protection of forest-dependent communities.

How REDD+ is financed and which types of projects it is funding? / Comment est financé le
programme REDD+ et quels sont les types de projets soutenus ?

The REDD+ program is financed through a combination of public and private funding. It
receives support from multilateral funds, bilateral aid, carbon markets, private sector
initiatives, and philanthropic foundations.

REDD+ funds are allocated to various types of projects, including forest conservation and
protection, forest restoration and reforestation, capacity building and governance, and
sustainable livelihoods and community development. These projects aim to prevent
deforestation, restore degraded forests, enhance monitoring systems, improve land tenure
arrangements, and promote sustainable livelihoods for forest-dependent communities.

Overall, REDD+ financing comes from diverse sources and supports a range of projects to
mitigate deforestation, promote sustainable forest management, and address climate
change.

What is the state of the World’s Forests? / Globalement quelles sont les actions préconisées
par le GIEC pour diminuer l’impact de l’utilisation des terres et des forêts sur le changement
climatique dans son rapport spécial SRCCL ?
IPCC SRCCL FIgure SPM.3A , SPM.3B and Figure 6.5 / Mesures d'adaptation et d'atténuation (Fig RID.3,
p26-27) et Résumé du rapport
1. Deforestation: Forests continue to face significant deforestation, primarily due to
agricultural expansion, logging, infrastructure development, and urbanization. This
loss of forests contributes to habitat destruction, biodiversity loss, and increased
greenhouse gas emissions.
2. Forest degradation: Apart from deforestation, many forests are also subject to
degradation, which involves the decline in the quality and health of the forest
ecosystem. Factors contributing to forest degradation include unsustainable logging
practices, fire outbreaks, invasive species, and climate change impacts.
3. Biodiversity loss: Deforestation and forest degradation result in the loss of biodiversity,
including the extinction of plant and animal species that rely on forests for their
habitat. Forests are home to a significant proportion of the world's terrestrial
biodiversity, making their conservation crucial for preserving global ecological
balance.
4. Climate change impact: Forests play a critical role in mitigating climate change by
acting as carbon sinks, absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. However,
deforestation and degradation release carbon emissions, exacerbating climate
change. Protecting and restoring forests is essential for climate change mitigation and
adaptation efforts.
5. Conservation efforts: There are global initiatives and efforts underway to address the
challenges faced by the world's forests. These include conservation projects,
sustainable forest management practices, reforestation and afforestation programs,
and international agreements such as the United Nations Framework Convention on
Climate Change (UNFCCC) and its Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest
Degradation (REDD+) program.

It receives contributions from developed countries, which can provide grants,
concessional loans, and equity investments. The fund aims for a balance between
mitigation and adaptation activities and prioritizes support for the most vulnerable
countries, including the least developed countries (LDCs), small island developing
states (SIDS), and African states.
3. Access and Accreditation: The GCF works through direct access entities, which are
institutions accredited by the fund to deliver financial resources and support to
developing countries. These entities include national development banks, international
organizations, and other institutions. Accreditation ensures that projects and
programs meet the GCF's criteria and environmental and social safeguards.
4. Project and Program Support: The Green Climate Fund provides financial resources for
a range of activities, including renewable energy projects, energy efficiency initiatives,
climate-resilient infrastructure, adaptation measures, and capacity-building efforts. It
supports both public and private sector projects, with a focus on catalyzing private
sector investment.
5. Readiness and Preparatory Support: In addition to project funding, the GCF provides
support for readiness and preparatory activities to help developing countries
strengthen their capacities to access and effectively utilize the fund's resources. This
includes support for project development, institutional strengthening, and enhancing
country ownership and engagement.
6. Transparency and Accountability: The Green Climate Fund operates with a strong
emphasis on transparency, accountability, and results-based management. It has
established rigorous processes for project approval, monitoring, and evaluation to
ensure that funds are utilized effectively and deliver intended climate outcomes.

The Green Climate Fund plays a crucial role in mobilizing financial resources and supporting
developing countries in their climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts. It aims to
contribute to global efforts to address climate change and promote sustainable
development.

Does your country or region support the GCF or is there any project financed by the GCF in
your country or region ? / Est-ce que votre pays ou région soutient le Fonds vert pour le
climat (FVC) ou votre pays/région a-t-il des projets financés par le FVC ?

France has been a strong supporter of the Green Climate Fund (GCF). France has made
financial contributions to the GCF to support its activities and help mobilize climate finance
for developing countries. France recognizes the importance of international cooperation and
financial support in addressing climate change and has been actively engaged in global
climate finance initiatives.
