PARIS AGREEMENT: REFLECTIONS AND CHALLENGES FOR THE INTERNATIONAL CLIMATE CHANGE REGIME

Abstract

The objective of the paper is to present the challenges posed by the post[1]2015 international climate change regime to all countries in relation to mitigation measures to achieve the goal set in the Paris Agreement and to reflect on the contributions determined unilaterally by the countries, respecting their capacities and development needs and on the combined effect of reductions and removals of greenhouse gases, if sufficient to limit global warming by up to 2°C. Therefore, the work starts with a reflection on the Brazilian contribution to the new period and advances a brief analysis of the global context and the future of the regime. From the point of view of international regimes as governance actions, this paper briefly examines the climate change regime, highlighting the innovations introduced by the Paris Agreement. The method used to make the analysis of this study will be the analytical with support in theoretical research taking into account bibliographical and doctrinal surveys in relation to the international climate change regime and to global governance. The article concludes that the environmental global governance promoted implementation and evolution of the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities within the climate change regime.
