Climate change scientists warn of 4C global temperature rise
The hellish vision of a world warmed by 4C within a lifetime has been set out by an international team of scientists, who say the glacial progress of the global climate change talks that restart in Mexico today makes the so-called safe limit of 2C impossible to keep. A 4C rise in the planet's temperature would see severe droughts across the world and millions of migrants seeking refuge as their food supplies collapse.

ANALIZA: Care este miza summit-ului climatic de la Cancun?
Reprezentantii a 193 de guverne din intreaga lume se reunesc incepand de astazi si pana pe 10 decembrie la summit-ul climatic al ONU de la Cancun (COP 16), pentru a pune bazele unor noi reglementari globale care sa limiteze riscurile accelerarii schimbarilor climatice. Spre deosebire de conferinta climatica de anul trecut, de la Copenhaga (COP 15), evenimentul de anul acesta prefigureaza sanse minime de stabilirea unor tinte obligatorii de reducere a emisiilor pentru statele puternic industrializate. Dovada ca niciun sef de stat nu si-a anuntat inca participarea la summit, fapt ce va oferi oamenilor de stiinta si ecologistilor ocazia de a se face mai bine auziti.

Оправдает ли 16-я Конференция сторон РКИК ООН низкие ожидания?
Почти год назад, когда 193 члена Рамочной Конвенции ООН об изменении климата (РКИК ООН) перенесли политические декларации Копенгагенского соглашения в окончательные решения своей ежегодной конференции, многие говорили, что соглашение никогда не будет реализовано. По мнению других, усиление политической воли, которое наблюдалось перед встречей в Копенгагене, могло сохраниться в течение 2010 г., что позволит достичь больших результатов в Канкуне. Однако накануне предстоящей 29 ноября – 10 декабря 2010 г. в Канкуне (Мексика) Конференции сторон РКИК ожидания низки. Многие ключевые страны и Исполнительный секретарь РКИК ООН Кристиана Фигейрас открыто заявили, что в рамках этого заседания не удастся достичь всеобъемлющего соглашения, включая договоренности о сокращении выбросов. В лучшем случае будет подготовлено небольшое пакетное соглашение, которое будет касаться деятельности по противодействию изменению климата, сельского хозяйства, раннего планирования новых институциональных механизмов, а также частично решать вопрос об обещанных фондах. Такое соглашение, по мнению наблюдателей, может поддержать переговорный дух на относительно высоком уровне.

Rezolutie PE privind cresterea tintei de reducere a emisiilor de la 20%, la 30%
UE ar actiona in propriul sau interes economic daca ar creste obiectivul de reducere a emisiilor la 30%, se mentioneaza in textul unei rezolutii aprobate ieri de Parlamentul European. Documentul evidentiaza faptul ca angajamentele de protectie a padurilor si de sprijinul financiar promis tarilor in curs de dezvoltare sunt subiecte critice in ceea ce priveste evolutia negocierilor internationale ce vor avea loc Summit-ul de la Cancun, Mexic.
