Looking Back at Earlier Crossroads of Climate Change: Climate Diplomacy and Development Diplomacy at Loggerheads
Year: 2012
Type: article
Abstract: Indeed legal conundrum vis-à-vis status of the Copenhagen Accord, 2009 is yet to be over; preparation on the part of major state players of global community is on toward settling political and diplomatic score against one another. Cancun, a town near Mexico City will be the venue of next Conference of Parties under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (hereinafter UNFCCC). In a way or other, after blinding ocular opulence at Copenhagen, the Cancun event will again call for a metamorphosis in the hitherto history of UN led movement against climate change. Whether and how far such an attempt will succeed to arrive at a gross unanimity over methodology to slow down pace of climate change is a point apart. Till date there is no progress to this end. "... the Copenhagen outcome did not provide the policy clarity that the business sector was hoping for. But it provides enough reason to continue the global sustainability trend and to move climate change action forward. And it provides enough progress, which can be taken forward to complete negotiations in Cancun at the end of this year".
