Minister Charmaine Scotty leads Nauru Delegation to COP21

Minister Charmaine Scotty is currently leading the Nauru Delegation at the 2015 Paris Climate Conference, COP21.
 
Minister Scotty joins Ministers from nearly 200 countries to begin negotiations on a draft climate agreement as the high-level segment of the COP21 begins.
 
In the last week, over 40,000 delegates have been hammering out the technical details of a deal with a new draft text agreed on Saturday 6 December. One of the key sticking point of these discussions is the overall level of ambition of the Paris Climate Agreement and this speaks to issues such as the long - term temperature (2 degrees C vs 1.5 degrees C), collective long-term mitigation pathways and the review cycle and updates.
 
Earlier this week, the Ministers from the Pacific Small Island Developing States (PSIDS) met to discuss their priorities including the 5 year review cycle which is gaining momentum to be an opportunity for every party to the UNFCCC to come back every 5 years to make deeper cuts and stronger commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to ensure global temperature remains well below 1.5 degree Celsius.
 
Minister Scotty told her ministerial colleagues that, "there are still some gaps remaining in this review cycle". She questioned the legitimacy of the 5-year review cycle, noting that most reviews under the UNFCCC process have been nothing more than rubber-stamping exercise.  The Minister recalled similar initiatives, namely the review back in COP4 in 1998, periodic review of the amount of funding necessary and available for the implementation of the Convention, the 2006 Kyoto Protocol Article 9 review, the 2008 Kyoto Protocol article 9 review and more recently, the 2013-2015 review whether to change the agreed temperature limitation goal from 2 degrees C to 1.5 degrees C.
 
Minister Scotty asked how this 5-year review cycle will ensure the very survival of PSIDS?  She suggested that there should be a safety net for the 5 review cycle to be effective and it should consider finance and means of implementation to be made easily accessible to PSIDS.
 
The points raised by Minister Scotty received unanimous support and were later included in the PSIDS Ministerial statement delivered to the Co-Facilitators responsible for Ambition.
 
Minister Scotty engaged in other activities including a Forum Ministerial Meeting hosted by Australia's Foreign Minister, AOSIS Ministerial Meetings hosted by Maldives and bilateral talks with Nauru's partners.
 
The Minister will remain in Paris until the conclusion of COP21 on 11 December.
