Here is a way out to find a formal justification for inaction that has many other reasons to be ...
Moreover, why would the destabilization by the climate of the peripheral countries be more serious than that resulting from the economy of the countries of the center and which no one is thinking of renouncing (as TAFTA shows, Need it)?

I do not think we should fight the WTO. After all, a global regulation of trade is also useful. A change in the hierarchy of standards and regulations should suffice. And undoubtedly a subrogation of the WTO to the UN is necessary. 2 interactions would also be more readable.
I suppose that many people will try to maintain the status quo, if only to save their privileges, and that, if that is done, it will be after us.

Except that it is not a question of a "regularization of the trade", but of an effort to thwart definitively the attempts of resistance to the diktats of the big industrial and commercial monopolies.
And undoubtedly a subrogation of the WTO to the UN is necessary.

And who could have the power to impose it?

Climate: in Bonn, the states called to "plunge into the engine" of the Paris agreement

Le Monde.fr with AFP and Reuters | 16.05.2016


Five months after COP21, delegates from 195 countries met for the first time on Monday 16 May in Bonn, Germany, to begin to implement the ambitious yet incomplete climate pact adopted in December 2015 in Paris against reheating.

This first negotiating session comes as April has been the warmest since the first temperature rises in the 19th century, according to NOAA, the American atmospheric agency.


In Bonn, headquarters of the UN Climate Change Convention, some 3 000 delegates must begin to "plunge into the engine," as summed up on Monday, UN climate chief, Christiana Figueres. "The negotiation phase is behind us, we are entering a phase of collaboration. The whole world is united behind this commitment "of Paris, she added.

This session, the only one up to the COP22 in Marrakech in November, is expected to last until May 26.

The Paris agreement "gives us a course, it is an extraordinary lever", supported the president of the COP21, the environment minister Segolene Royal. "Your mission gets a new lease of life," she told delegates. The foundations of the house are laid, we must now build it. You will need to define rules and mechanisms to help our countries implement the agreement and transform economies. "

What should be defined after the Paris agreement?

The 12 December 2015, the international community has adopted the first universal pact committing all states to act against the warming generated by greenhouse gas emissions.

In view of the disturbances at work - heat waves, droughts, rising sea levels, melting of glaciers - the agreement confirmed the objective of containing the rise in mercury "well below" by 2 ° C - or even 1,5 ° C - compared to the pre-industrial level.

The immense task implies that the world is turning away from a large part of the fossil energies and supporting a clean development of the countries of the South.

But the text of Paris does not detail the mechanisms for monitoring actions or the rise in funding. In addition, national commitments made at this stage to reduce emissions can only hold the increase at 3 ° C, which means re-evaluating the promises in a process that remains to be specified.

Where is the ratification of the Paris agreement?

The Paris agreement was signed by 177 states - including 175 from the day it was opened for signature, a record for the UN - and ratified by 16 countries.

On Monday, many calls were made for rapid ratification: to enter into force, it must be ratified by at least 55 countries representing 55% of greenhouse gas emissions. The United States and China, which are among the signatory countries, together account for 38% of emissions.

COP21: green light from the Assembly to the ratification of the climate agreement

AFP 17 May 2016

The National Assembly on Tuesday gave the green light to the ratification of the climate agreement concluded in Paris in December at the end of the COP21, the government highlighting the fact that France was "the first industrialized country" to act in this direction.

The deputies voted for the bill "authorizing the ratification of the Paris agreement adopted on December 12, 2015". To be definitively approved by Parliament, it will still have to be submitted to a Senate vote on June 8.

"It is the honor of France to be the first industrialized country to ratify the Paris Agreement and the first country in Europe to set this example", declared Ségolène Royal, current president of the COP21 and minister. of the Environment, extolling a vote "which will give France additional strength to lead other countries" on this "universal and ambitious" agreement.

"The world is at a turning point in its history," said the minister. "The idea that nature is at the service of Man must give way to the recognition that it cannot exist without it" and that "when it seeks to exist against it, then it sets off a whole series of dramas and suffering, despair: climate change ".

"We must therefore make courageous choices to restore a balance," and "this is what the international community did in December in Paris," added Ms. Royal.

All political groups voted in favor of the bill, even if several voices on the right and on the left were raised to criticize the fact that the agreement is "not binding", like Bernard Deflesselles ( LR) and Bertrand Pancher (UDI) who said they feared that we would pass on "to our children a hideous world".

The ecologist Noël Mamère, while providing "of course" his support, also underlined that the agreement concerned "voluntary commitments on the part of the States" whereas it "is difficult to believe in the sincerity of a number "of them.

"Why hide his joy and moderate his satisfaction?" Retorted the socialist Philippe Plisson.

Only Marion Maréchal-Le Pen announced the abstention of the two elected FN, affirming that "behind the media effervescence, the Paris agreement suffers from a program at the very least hypothetical".

The agreement, already signed by 177 states, provides for a commitment to limit global warming "well below" 2 °, or even 1,5 ° compared to the pre-industrial level.

For it to enter into force as planned from 2020, 55 countries representing 55% of global greenhouse gas emissions must ratify it.

At this stage, 16 countries, especially small island states, have already ratified the agreement, recalled Ms. Royal, stressing that "certain major players" including the two main polluters, China and the United States, have announced their intention to do so before the end of the year.

She called earlier today on EU member states to "speed up" ratification by launching the process at home before the European Council in late June, saying "some are very far from it".

Delegates from 195 countries are meeting in Bonn to begin to concretize the Paris agreement.

Fabius is alarmed by the delay in the application of the COP21

Tuesday August 30 2016


PARIS (Reuters) - Former COP21 president Laurent Fabius is alarmed, in a column published Tuesday by Le Monde, about the delay in the implementation of the Paris climate agreement adopted in December 2015 and judges "vital" an acceleration of the process.

"To the immense satisfaction of having succeeded, in December 2015, the world conference in Paris on the climate succeeds today, for me as for many others, a concern", writes the president of the Constitutional Council, who has ceded the head of the COP21 to the Minister of Ecology, Ségolène Royal.

"Only (...) a proactive, global, rapid and multifaceted action can still avoid the tragedy: this is precisely the aim of the 29 articles and 140 paragraphs of decisions, as well as the various agreements that all the countries of the world have agreed to. during the COP21 ", underlines the former Minister of Foreign Affairs. "However, concerns about their application are increasing."

"Neither the goodwill of France, president of COP21, nor that of Morocco, host of COP22, nor the determination of the United Nations system are in question: their commitment is manifest," he adds. "But major difficulties appear or are confirmed that it would be irresponsible to hide."

Adopted 12 December 2015 at the Conference of the parties to the climate convention in Paris, the text, described as historic, lays the foundation for controlling greenhouse gas emissions at the origin of climate disruption.

It sets the framework for political, economic and financial commitments aimed at containing the increase in the average temperature of the planet "well below 2 ° C" in 2100 compared to pre-industrial levels.

The agreement was approved by 195 Country and was signed on April 22 in New York, at the UN Headquarters, by 175 Country. To enter into force, it must be ratified by at least 55 states, representing more than 55% of greenhouse gas emissions.

However, "we are at less than 2%!", Underlines Laurent Fabius. "Promises are given but the fact is that today neither China, nor the United States, nor the European Union, nor India, nor Russia - the top five emitters of CO2 - have yet taken the plunge, "he continues. "It is vital, literally, that they do it and quickly."

France ratified the agreement in June. In early August, a study published under the aegis of the Marshall Islands expected a likely entry into force of the agreement by the end of the year.

"Without action against global warming, the time has come, not to slow down, but to continue and even to accelerate", underlines Laurent Fabius, who believes that the G20 summit, in Hangzhou, in early September, and the COP22 in Marrakech, in November, "provided the opportunity".

COP21: China and the United States ratify Paris climate agreement

By RFI Published on 03-09-2016

France, the organizer of the COP21 conference on the fight against global warming, will be delighted: Beijing and Washington announced on Saturday morning the ratification of the agreement signed in Paris on 12 last December by 175 countries. Announcements that are taking place as this Sunday opens in Hangzhou, China, the G20 summit.

With our correspondent in Beijing, Heike Schmidt

It is no coincidence that Beijing announced the ratification of the World Climate Agreement just hours before all delegations arrived in Hangzhou. Green growth will be one of the major themes of this meeting and China wants to do well to train the 19 other powers in its momentum, while the majority lags behind.

At least 55 countries, representing 55% of global greenhouse gas emissions, must ratify the agreement to enter into force as expected from 2020. But we are far away from the count.

But China, which is heavily dependent on coal, accounts for only a quarter of global emissions. His announcement weighs heavily in the balance.

Beijing caught up with Washington who followed suit a few hours later this Saturday, at a meeting on the sidelines of the G20. President Barack Obama and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, leaders of the two biggest polluters in the world, together handed over the instruments of ratification of the Paris agreement to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, reported a reporter Of AFP.

"At the end of the day, [this agreement] will mark a turning point for our planet," said Barack Obama. With these two important ratifications, Ban Ki-moon says he is "optimistic" for the entry into force of the text by the end of 2016.

COP21: China and US ratify Paris climate agreement
......................
These announcements were expected, as they allow China to assert itself as a responsible leader in a troubled world and Barack Obama, the US president, to "green" his record. On the eve of the summit of the G20 which it hosts for two days in Hangzhou, the second power of the planet, which is also the main polluter, thus ratified this Saturday the world agreement on the climate concluded in December in Paris, In conclusion of COP21. The United States has taken the same initiative in a concerted move: Barack Obama and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping handed the ratification documents to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon together, which should Speed ​​up implementation.

The legislature of the Middle Kingdom has voted the proposal to "ratify" this treaty to limit the global warming under the threshold of 2 even 1,5 ° C, said the agency China New. This agreement can be seen by future generations as "the moment when we have finally decided to save our planet" and "define the contours of this century," said Barack Obama.

This is a decisive step, as China and the United States account for 42% of CO2 emissions. This will create a ripple effect within the international community. Nine months after COP21, it has so far not shone with its zeal. So much so that Laurent Fabius, who had presided over this event, was moved by it in Le Monde a few days ago. This Saturday, François Hollande welcomed this double ratification.

Climate: Brazil and Panama ratify the Paris agreement

AFP 12 September 2016

Brazil and Panama ratified on Monday the World Climate Agreement concluded in December in Paris, which provides for the reduction of greenhouse gases by the signatory countries.

"The climate issue is up to the State. It is an obligation of all governments," Brazilian President Michel Temer said during a ceremony at the Planalto Palace, the seat of government in Brasilia. "Climate change is a threat to the well-being and health of the population and a threat to the future of all who inhabit this planet," Panamanian President Juan Carlos Varela said during his speech. the ratification ceremony.

Panama maintains its "will to act before it is too late", he insisted, adding that the Central American country wants to cover 70% of its energy consumption with renewable sources from here. to 2050. Brazil and Panama thus become the 27th and 28th countries to have ratified the Paris Agreement.

In December, at the Paris Climate Conference, 195 countries committed themselves to limiting global warming to less than two degrees from the pre-industrial period. The agreement will enter into force when 55 countries representing at least 55% of world emissions have ratified it.

Brazil now represents 2,48% of greenhouse gas emissions, according to a statement by the presidency. The ratification of the agreement transforms the Brazilian objectives into official commitments. The South American giant will have to reduce its emissions of 37% by 2025, and 43% by 2030, compared to the level of 2005.
