Challenges in EU External Climate Change Policy-Making in the Early Post-Lisbon Era: The UNFCCC Copenhagen Negotiations

2011

The 15th United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference of the Parties (COP) meeting held in Copenhagen from 7 to 18 December 2009, which took place one week after the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon on 1 December 2009, has brought about rather disappointing outcomes from the perspective of the European Union (EU), which had previously displayed substantial leadership within the UN climate regime. Contrary to the EU’s objectives for the COP15 meeting, no legally binding agreement was reached to succeed the Kyoto Protocol after 2012 and the final Copenhagen Accord contained disappointingly few ambitious targets. This chapter tries to explain how this resul…

The EU’s Role in International Climate Change Policy-Making: A Global Leader in Decline?

2013

This chapter assesses the European Union’s (EU) role in international climate change policy-making by comparing the EU’s degree of goal attainment at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference of the Parties (COP) negotiations in Copenhagen in 2009 and Cancun in 2010. By making use of three analytical factors (coherence, the opportunity structure and politicisation) we assess the outcomes of both negotiations for the EU. The Durban negotiations of 2011 are touched upon in the conclusions.

Cambiamenti climatici e diritti umani. Il paradigma della Giustizia climatica e il ruolo delle climate litigations per la protezione dei diritti uman…

2021

In che misura i sempre più diffusi, pervasivi e drammatici impatti dei cambiamenti climatici, che interessano con geometrie variabili tutte le latitudini e longitudini del globo, mettono a rischio la tenuta del sistema dei diritti umani universalmente riconosciuti? La ricerca si pone l'obiettivo di rispondere a tale quesito ragionando su quali sfide essi pongano e su quali siano, nell'attuale panorama, gli strumenti giuridici utili a garantire la piena tutela dei diritti fondamentali nel nuovo contesto clima- alterato. La fondatezza e l’attendibilità delle ricerche scientifiche che avvalorano l’esistenza del cambiamento climatico antropogenico si pongono come presupposto fattuale dell'inter…
