Paving the way forward before Paris

Ever since global warming became a fact of certainty, each year of inaction has often recorded significant rise in global temperature and that means every year after records a higher degree of temperature and while we have been having records of downplays at the international talks, we can as well assume, a direct proportional variation, considering the years of down plays and the corresponding increase in global temperature and the constant of time tickling away.

The climate negotiations have begun in earnest in the capital of Peru, Lima, with the convergence of all stakeholders in the business of climate talks and then we have our hopes rising again on the scale of probably things would work out right at this time as it’s a significant timing in the history of negotiating the future of our planet in the face of a changing climate and even as we look towards a new deal in Paris come 2015.

The ban-kin moon’s climate summit held in New York earlier this year proved in a way some potential path to a meaningful actualization at this year’s climate talks as we witnessed the biggest emitters (U.S and China) coming up with some bold step of actions and a glimmer of hope in the regards of arousing the rest of the world in taking after such bold declaration.

Emerging economies are already on the trail as well with some significant pledges from their quarters of commitment while the developing world would be waiting on some positive views on adaptation enhancement processes which includes technology transfer and funding supports and not forgetting the issue of loss and damage which generated so much controversies that almost closed down the last COP in Warsaw.

Every country is expected to come up with a level of proposal that would lead up to a more concrete treaty next year in Paris. Now the talks have begun and we are waiting to read through the frame of the outcome which we would remain optimistic about, at least in good faith.
