Christiana Figueres Instagram – 👉 IS THE COP STILL FIT FOR PURPOSE? Here’s what Christiana had to say on it in the latest episode of @Bloomberg Zero:
“I haven’t lost faith in the process. We have to understand that the COPs were designed for one purpose, and that is to hold the multilateral process that reaches legally binding agreements. That is what it was designed to do…. It has succeeded, because in 2015, we adopted the Paris agreement. And in 2021, we adopted the rule book for the Paris Agreement.
So substantially… we are in the process of moving from negotiation to implementation. The COPs were never meant to implement, that’s the point. Implementation doesn’t happen as the result of negotiation in negotiation halls. It happens in the real economy, through policies, through healthy competition, through investments, through innovation and technology. That’s where the push is now.
So the question then is, does the COP get redesigned for this new purpose to support implementation? Does it stay as a multilateral negotiating process? Or do you bring both of these together in a new way that honestly, cannot be what we have now.”
What do you think? 🤔
