RECAP15 -
Re-thinking the Efficacy of International Climate Agreements Post COP15

RECAP15 International Conference

 Globus ©CO2 Bilanz Vegetation

Recommendations for COP21 (Paris 2015)

Given the continuing failure of international climate negotiations, climate policy must break new ground. This requires a departure from over-ambitious climate protection goals and the ideal of a global agreement towards a bottom-up-based extension of global climate protection. A prerequisite for this is a confidence-building climate policy framework that secures the success of the unilateral efforts and at the same time convinces developing countries for climate protection.

  • From the „Copenhagen Syndrome“ to climate realpolitik
  • How to shield the EU’s first-mover position in climate policy?
  • Is climate adaptation counterproductive for climate protection?
  • Satellite-based monitoring for building trust
