At the 2011 UN Climate Change Conference, the Durban Platform (and the Ad Hoc Working Group on the Durban Platform for Enhanced Action) was created with the aim of negotiating a legal instrument to tackle climate change from 2020. The resulting agreement is expected to be adopted in 2015. [62] The NDC Partnership was launched at COP22 in Marrakesh to improve cooperation so that countries have access to the technical knowledge and financial assistance they need to achieve large-scale climate and sustainable development goals. The NDC partnership is led by a steering committee made up of developed, developing and international institutions, and supported by a support unit hosted by the World Resources Institute, based in Washington, DC and Bonn, Germany. The NDC partnership is co-led by the governments of Costa Rica and the Netherlands and includes 93 member countries, 21 institutional partners and ten associate members. Since then, Turkey has argued that it is a developing country and that it has gained special circumstances that allow it to choose to provide funds. But it is still not possible to access climate money, a condition that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said must change if Turkey is to ratify the agreement. Once ratified, the agreement will require governments to submit their emission reduction plans. They will eventually have to do their part to keep global temperatures well below 2°C above the pre-industrial period and “make efforts” to limit them to 1.5°C. To address climate change and its negative effects, 197 countries adopted the Paris Agreement at COP21 in Paris on 12 December 2015.

The agreement, which entered into force less than a year later, aims to significantly reduce global greenhouse gas emissions and limit the increase in global temperature to 2 degrees Celsius this century, while ways are being pursued to further limit the increase to 1.5 degrees. On 4 November 2019, the United States notified the depositary of its withdrawal from the Agreement, which will take effect exactly one year after that date. [30] intends to participate in joint EU efforts to reduce emissions across the region by 40% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. The precise commitment it will make under this burden-sharing approach has yet to be decided; In the absence of an agreement, Iceland will submit a new INDC. It is the INDC. Trump – a climate denier who claimed climate change was a “scam” committed by China – announced in June 2017 his intention to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement. But despite the rose garden president`s statement that “we`re going out,” it`s not that simple. The withdrawal process requires the agreement to be in force for three years before a country can formally announce its intention to withdraw. It will be a year before leaving the pact. This means that the United States would not be able to officially withdraw until November 4, 2020, the day after the presidential elections.

Even a formal withdrawal would not necessarily be permanent, experts say; a future president could return in just a month. . .
