Abstract

Some international climate change negotiations result in apparent successes. Others seem to fail or simply flat line. The 2015 Paris Accord reflects a formal global climate change management transition to solve a collective issue by promoting and facilitating transformative Deep DE carbonisation Pathways (DDP). The EU States cannot yet reach the 2050 DE carbonisation plan, which requires cooperation. This paper sets out a structure to help understand the failure and challenges for the EU to develop a deep decarbonised pathway. Existing pieces of literature fail to explain this situation entirely. This article develops a framework - economic interest groups - that focuses on winning and losing players. A plausible answer lies in the process of shaping a coalition against the EU's proposed pathway by 'losing states'. I argue that the presence of losing states explains the failure of the current EU deep DE carbonisation pathway in line with the Paris Agreement.
