PARIS SUMMIT OF CONSCIENCE FOR THE CLIMATE

France signals 'breakthrough'

AFP, Paris
France signalled a "breakthrough" at 46-nation talks in Paris tasked with paving the way for a highly-anticipated climate rescue pact to be inked in December.
Ministers and top officials at an informal gathering reached consensus on several issues that have stymied the official negotiations for years, France’s top climate negotiator Laurence Tubiana told journalists.
Crucially, they concurred there should be a regular, five-yearly review, once the agreement kicks in, of the collective effort to curb planetwarminggreenhouse gases.
"This is a breakthrough," said Tubiana. "That was not obvious to get."
The political signal emerging from the Paris talks will now filter down and hopefully ease the job of rank-and-file negotiators for the 195 countries crafting a historic global agreement.
The Paris talks were not part of the official negotiations, and fewer than a quarter of countries were directly
represented.
But all the world's top greenhouse gas emitters, apart from Russia, were represented, as were all recognised
negotiating blocs.
The pact to be finalised at a November 30-December 11 UN conference in the French capital will have as its goal to limit average global warming to two degrees Celsius (3.6
degrees Fahrenheit) over preIndustrial Revolution levels.
It will be supported by a roster of voluntary national pledges. But scientists say that those already submitted indicate the world will badly miss the 2 C target which is considered the threshold for disastrous impacts.
Tubiana said consensus also emerged at the ministerial meeting on the need for regular reporting on national action.
Convergence around issues like these mean the global agreement, due to take effect from 2020, will be "durable" and not need to be renegotiated 10 years later, the minister said.
Meanwhile,mayors from around the world have signed a declaration with Pope Francis stating that man-made climate change is real and humanity has a moral imperative to take action.
At a two-day summit in the Vatican aimed at spurring efforts to fight global warming following the pope's environment encyclical denouncing the exploitation of the poor and the earth’s resources, over 60 mayors pledged to do their part.
