Abstract

Limiting the increase in global average temperature to below 2°C compared to pre-industrial levels will require ambitious mitigation action by a broad range of actors including Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), i.e., national governments, and non-party stakeholders (NPS). This paper focuses on three types of NPS, namely, sub-national governments, the private sector and financial institutions, and examines how the 2015 agreement could help the NPS encourage increased mitigation actions as well as the financing for such actions. The paper identifies five barriers that can prevent NPS from enhancing their actions and assesses how the current process under the UNFCCC is addressing these barriers for the pre-2020 period. It also explores options to establish or enhance links between the UNFCCC and NPS in the 2015 agreement for post-2020, in order to further address the barriers and enhance actions by NPS. Encourager les acteurs non-Parties à la CCNUCC à renforcer leur action climatique L’objectif de contenir l’élévation de la température moyenne de la planète en dessous de 2°C par rapport aux niveaux préindustriels exigera des actions d’atténuation ambitieuses de la part d’un large éventail d’acteurs. Ceci inclus notamment les Parties à la Convention-cadre des Nations Unies sur les changements climatiques (CCNUCC), c’est-à-dire les administrations nationales, ainsi que les acteurs non-Parties à la CCNUCC. Ce rapport, qui est axé sur trois catégories d’acteurs non-Parties – les administrations infranationales, le secteur privé et les institutions financières –, examine par quels moyens l’accord de 2015 pourrait contribuer à encourager les acteurs non-Parties à renforcer les actions d’atténuation ainsi que leur financement. Il recense cinq obstacles susceptibles d’empêcher les acteurs non-Parties de renforcer leurs actions et évalue la façon dont le processus en cours dans le cadre de la CCNUCC s’attaque à ces obstacles pour la période pré-2020. L’étude explore aussi les moyens envisageables pour établir ou consolider les liens entre la CCNUCC et les acteurs non-Parties dans le cadre de l’accord de 2015 pour la période post-2020, dans le but de lever les obstacles et d'accroitre l’action climatique des acteurs non-Parties.
