COP16/CMP6: What can we expect from Cancun?

This year’s United Nations Climate Change Conference will be held in Cancun, Mexico, from November 29^th to December 10^th 2010.

Without doubt, there are several important questions in the course of this conference. Among them one that has been debated a lot in advance: Can we expect more from Cancun than from Copenhagen?

2009, the world was hoping for a fair, effective and binding agreement, vainly. The 193 states merely agreed on a minimum solution that could not be enough for our planet and therefore disappointed all the people that fought so bravely for an improvement of the worldwide climate policy.

Because of that and the economical problems many countries are still facing as a result of the financial crisis, the world looks skeptically towards Cancun. Observers are in doubt if the larger economies of the industrial nations like the US, the UK, Germany, Japan, Russia or China, but also the newly industrializing and developing nations like South Africa, Brazil, India or Mexico are even willing to sign a multilateral agreement.

But only with such a multilateral agreement we can avoid that, after the expiration of the Kyoto Protocol in 2012, we will face a climate policy vacuum without climate protection targets.
