Abstract

Governments are currently negotiating the elements of a new climate change agreement to be adopted at the forthcoming COP 21 conference in Paris in 2015. The aim of this paper is to take stock of existing UNFCCC institutions and arrangements and the inter-linkages between them in the areas of mitigation, adaptation and loss and damage, means of implementation, and measurement, reporting and verification (MRV), with a view to informing discussions on the possible elements of a 2015 agreement. A pragmatic agreement would focus on using existing institutions and arrangements more effectively, before creating new ones. Some institutions and arrangements have been established only recently, and time is needed before their effectiveness can be fairly assessed. Point sur le processus de la CCNUCC et ses liens d'interdépendance Les gouvernements négocient actuellement les éléments d’un nouvel accord sur le changement climatique devant être adopté à la 21e Conférence des Parties (CdP 21) qui se tiendra à Paris en 2015. Ce document a pour objet de dresser l’inventaire des institutions et mécanismes existants de la CCNUCC et d’examiner leurs liens dans les domaines de l’atténuation, de l’adaptation, des pertes et préjudices, des moyens de mise en oeuvre et de la mesure, notification et vérification (MNV), en vue d’éclairer les débats consacrés aux éléments possibles d’un accord en 2015. Un accord pragmatique serait axé sur les moyens d’utiliser plus efficacement les institutions et mécanismes existants avant d’en créer de nouveaux. Certaines institutions et certains mécanismes n’ont été mis en place que récemment, et il faut du temps pour évaluer équitablement leur efficacité.
