According to the question of "Copenhagen Conference"
The purpose of the Copenhagen meeting has been clearly stated by netizens. I won't repeat here that the significance of Copenhagen is to reduce global greenhouse gases. Why a political agreement? It is not legally binding, nor does it stipulate which country must reduce emissions by how much and which country should make efforts. However, the vast majority of countries attending the Copenhagen conference have a strong desire to reduce greenhouse gases. At the same time, a relatively consistent view was reached on some key issues. So there is a Copenhagen agreement, which has no legal effect. So it also reflects some views of major countries, so it is a political agreement. Then, on the basis of this political agreement, the international community should conduct further negotiations this year and next year to reach a legally binding global emission reduction agreement. Many people think that this year's negotiations in Mexico must reach an agreement, but this view is only 50% possible. The prudent view now is that it is better to reach a global agreement next year through this year's efforts. If it can't be realized next year, it may be delayed until the year after next, or it may be basically realized next year. Why do you say that? There are several directions for international climate change negotiations after Copenhagen. First of all, according to Copenhagen's insistence and the expectations of developed countries, we will continue the original two-track Bali negotiation road map, and then negotiate in terms of funds and technology. Second, it is also possible for countries to further revise their commitments on the basis of their commitments, or to complete legal procedures and reach an international agreement on comprehensive emission reduction. So this prospect is difficult to predict, but after Copenhagen, because of the agreement of Copenhagen political will, the international community will not miss this opportunity, and will definitely reach such an agreement, or make arrangements for the global emission reduction mechanism next year or the year after. Speaking of this topic, because last year's Copenhagen Accord aroused widespread concern, according to China's words, all countries should lock in their commitments, that is, whatever you promise, your commitment may not be enough for the international community. For example, the European Union's commitment to reduce emissions by 20% is not enough for the international community, and the United States' commitment of 17% is not enough for the international community. We in China are committed to reducing carbon intensity by 40% to 45% by 2020. However, our view is that since everyone has made a commitment, we should lock in this commitment and move forward. In this sense, countries around the world after Copenhagen, especially some major countries, will further adjust their commitments and domestic policies for low-carbon development and greenhouse gas emission reduction, and make efforts to reach new international agreements. In fact, China did the same. China made this commitment. Before Copenhagen, China promised that by 2020, the intensity of carbon emissions would be reduced by 40% to 45%, which means the intensity of carbon dioxide per unit of GDP. At the same time, it is necessary to plan new energy sources, which will account for 15% of energy consumption by 2020, and it is also proposed to plant trees. These three goals are being implemented now, because China is making the 12th Five-Year Development Plan, and this goal should be implemented in these plans. The goal of reducing carbon intensity should be decomposed and the responsibility system should be implemented. Of course, China is also studying how to further deal with climate change, including our meeting today, and further develop a low-carbon economy, which can make the efforts to reduce emissions better. Then, other countries are also adjusting. From the beginning of February to the present, as far as I know, more than 70 countries have participated in the Copenhagen conference and given feedback to the two working groups of the United Nations, and all countries that have promised to provide information have been informed. So all countries are doing it and working hard. Second, after the Copenhagen conference, the major developed and developing countries felt the Copenhagen conference, and people all over the world had such a strong desire. At the same time, the negotiations involve the interests of all countries and many substantive issues, such as how many degrees the global temperature is controlled, that is, the goal of 2 degrees. Then, according to this goal, each country should make a clear forecast and commitment to its own carbon emissions. At the same time, we should also make commitments to our own emission reduction targets and quantitative indicators. In a series of requirements, countries can see clearly. Therefore, my observation is that after Copenhagen, major developed countries and major developing countries are actively preparing to adjust their energy development strategies and policies. In our words, everyone is trying to promote the energy transformation of their country, from this high-carbon energy to low-carbon energy. For example, the European Union and the United States have also made a lot of efforts, and China has also made a lot of efforts to develop renewable energy and non-fossil energy. At the same time, we are also studying a clear roadmap for energy transformation, so that our energy will gradually transform from high carbon to low carbon, what kind of roadmap is there, and so on. So because energy emissions account for a very large proportion in the whole greenhouse gas, about 70% to 80%, this is also a key point. To sum up, I want to sum up that after Copenhagen, the international community will reach a legally binding global greenhouse gas control agreement in about two years, which is an optimistic view. Second, after Copenhagen, it has greatly promoted the low-carbon development of the world, making the development speed and scope of all countries soar. Third, major developed countries and developing countries have begun to carry out energy transformation and promote energy transformation. Combined with the current situation of carbon dioxide emissions and the long-term emission reduction commitments of major economies in the world, it has to be said that the current form of emission reduction is extremely severe, so the driving factors of low-carbon economic growth at home and abroad are also very obvious. What impact did Copenhagen have on China? China put forward a series of goals at the Copenhagen conference, such as reducing the energy consumption per unit of GDP by about 20% compared with 2005 by 20 10, and striving to achieve the proportion of renewable energy in the energy structure of 16% by 2020. Personally, he thinks that Copenhagen is the most failed meeting in history, not to mention that this meeting was basically manipulated by developed countries led by the United States, but the final agreements reached were a series. Let's take a look at the commitments made by major countries at the meeting: the United States: the goal of reducing emissions by 4% is also difficult to promise. At the beginning of his tenure, Obama hoped to use his super popularity to push the United States to pass the climate bill before the Copenhagen conference, although the commitment of the United States is only equivalent to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by about 4% on the basis of 1990, which is still far from the expectations of developing countries.

EU: Commitment to reduce emissions by 95% by 2050. Europe tries to re-establish its international leading position on the issue of climate change, pointing out that if the Copenhagen summit can reach a climate change agreement, Europe will cut greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 95% by 2050 and 30% by 2020.

India: Indian Environment Minister Ramesh announced on the 3rd that India will reduce the carbon dioxide emissions per unit of gross domestic product (GDP) by 20% ~ 25% compared with 2005.

Britain: In 2009, the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting issued the Understanding on Climate Change in Port of Spain: Commonwealth Declaration on Climate Change, which emphasized that all parties should reach a legally binding agreement at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, and developed countries should give help to countries in need, especially financial assistance.

Australia: On the 2nd, the Australian Senate again rejected the climate change bill proposed by the Australian Labor Party government, leaving Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to attend the meeting empty-handed. Australia is the world's largest coal exporter, with per capita emissions exceeding that of the United States. It is proposed that greenhouse gas emissions in the next decade will be reduced by 5% to 15% compared with 2000. However, the unconstrained Zhi Nuo is not worth discussing at all. First of all, the trend of global warming is getting more and more serious. Nowadays, with the rapid development of the world economy, coal and oil are the main resources, and a large number of greenhouse gases such as nitrogen dioxide are emitted, which accelerates global warming and sea level rise, and the subsequent meteorological disasters are also increasing.

Second, coal and oil are non-renewable resources, and developing a low-carbon economy is conducive to the sustainable development of mankind.

Third, to develop a low-carbon economy, we must first vigorously develop renewable energy such as solar energy, geothermal energy and wind energy, reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and at the same time plant trees and increase vegetation coverage. The concept of low-carbon economy was first put forward in the British energy white paper Our Energy Future: Creating a Low-carbon Economy in 2003. In July 2007, the US Senate proposed the Low-carbon Economy Act and the Clean Energy and Security Act passed by the US House of Representatives in June 2009, which planned the development path and specific measures of the low-carbon economy in the United States. The AB-32 Act passed by California has made a low-carbon economic development plan at the state level. So far, many countries have made their own low-carbon economic development plans. At the15th APEC Leaders' Summit, China president Hu clearly proposed "developing low-carbon economy". At the United Nations Climate Change Summit in September 2009, he further proposed that China should vigorously develop a green economy and actively develop a low-carbon economy and a circular economy. What should we do according to the Copenhagen conference? The full name is15th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark, from February 7 to February 8, 2009. From February 7th, the environment ministers of 192 countries and other officials will hold the United Nations Climate Conference in Copenhagen to discuss the follow-up plan after the first phase of the Kyoto Protocol expires, and sign a new agreement on future global actions to deal with climate change. This is another epoch-making global climate agreement after the Kyoto Protocol, which will undoubtedly have a decisive impact on the future climate change trend of the earth. This is a conference known as "the last chance to save mankind". As ordinary people, we should strive to become a "low-carbon cluster", make our contribution to global warming, and do the following ten life steps (1, turn off the redundant lights; 2. Turn off the computer in time; 3. Take more buses; 4. Pay bills online; 5. untie the team leader; 6. abandon steak; 7. Open a window; 8. hang the clothesline; 9. Bring your own shopping bag; 10, planting a tree), which is very meaningful.
