From Bali to Copenhagen : Climate Change Challenges Ainun Nishat Ph.D. Country Representative IUCN-Bangladesh Country Office, and Focal Person on Climate Change, IUCN-Asia Regional Directorate Launching Ceremony, Technical Advisory Panel on Climate Change Islamabad, Pakistan, February 15, 2008 Is Climate Change real …..? • Climate change has risen to the top of international policy agenda. • IPCC TAR 2001: The Earth’s Climate system has demonstrably changed on both global and regional scales since the pre-industrial era. The IPCC-FAR(2007), concludes that global warming is unequivocally the result of human activities. Scientific consensus is clear; now we need to urgently focus on what to do about it. • CO2 emission has increased from 280 ppm before industrial revolution to about 380 ppm. May reach 800+ ppm by end of this century. Global average temperature is already up by 0.8C. • Stern Review ( 2007) : ‘poorest countries and people will suffer earliest and most’. • Climate change and climate variability are now real and a stable situation is not likely to be achieved soon. Launching Ceremony, Technical Advisory Panel on Climate Change Islamabad, Pakistan, February 15, 2008 Some Definitions…… Climate Change: any change in climate over time. Climate variability: variations in the mean state and other statistics (such as occurrence of extremes, etc.) of the climate on all temporal and spatial scales. Adaptation is adjustment in natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climatic stimuli or their effects, which moderates harm or exploits beneficial opportunities. Mitigation is interventions to reduce the sources or enhance the sinks of greenhouse gases. Launching Ceremony, Technical Advisory Panel on Climate Change Islamabad, Pakistan, February 15, 2008 Introduction • UNFCCC was signed in 1992; Kyoto protocol focuses on Mitigation and will come to end in 2012. • IPCC-IV Report puts urgency in combined global efforts in addressing various aspects of global warming. • Intense negotiations will be held from now, up to December 2009, developing countries must participate in the process effectively • This presentation has five sections – – – – – Major Climate Change concerns Progress up to Bali Outcome of Bali COP ( COP13/MOP3) Bali Action Plan and Road to Copenhagen Concluding Remarks Launching Ceremony, Technical Advisory Panel on Climate Change Islamabad, Pakistan, February 15, 2008 I.
