De Rio 1992 à Marrakech 2016 : le Sud, acteur de la politique climatique by Michel Damian

“…Dans le second et le troisième point, nous proposons une relecture de la Convention de 1992 (en tant que produit d’un compromis avec et pour le Sud), ainsi que du protocole de Kyoto (qui a été, et demeure – avec la seconde période d’engagement de celui-ci jusqu’en 2020 – la pierre d’angle de l’action pour le Sud). Dans le quatrième point, nous montrons que l’Accord de Paris est le plus petit dénominateur commun – et le seul envisageable – pour la majorité des États du Nord et du Sud. …”
