TL-EU Cooperation on Combating Global Climate Change and Preparation of Timor-Leste for the Conference of Parties (COP 21) in Paris
Climate change has become a geat enemy for the national development in all the countries. Concern about the climate change is not only a national issue, but it is also an international issue. As a least developed country, Timor-Leste also facing many challenges in the area of environment such as rising sea levels, droughts, erosion and innundation.
Timor-Leste is a young nation in the Asia region, is strong committed to the environmental issues through the ratification of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2006. And also it adheres to the Kyoto Protocol phase II. As a member of UNFCCC, Timor-Leste has an obligation to implement the UNFCCC obligations in the territory, as follows:
• Adaptation and mitigation
• Ensuring and protect natural resources and its ecosystem
• Ensuring food security and agricultural productivity
• Educating and raising awareness in the threatened areas in order to maintain sustainable development
These activities have been carried out in the country in order to meet the obligations of UNFCCC’s conventions. Other relevant activity related to the convention is the National Adaption Plan Action (NAPA). These activities that have been implemented such as Dili-Ainaro Corridor, Small Scale Rural Infrastructure project, Mangrove rehabilitation, Manatuto-Natarbora Corridor, Forestry nurseries, Community-based Adaptation, Raumoko watershed management, Clean-water project in Vemasse, capacity building, education and raising awareness, and etc.
The EU is committed to ensuring the adoption of a legally binding, ambitious and fair international agreement applicable to all countries that is capable of keeping the global average temperature rise below 2°C and avoiding dangerous climate change.
For the EU, there are four key elements to a successful deal. These are: ambitious emissions reduction commitments, a shared destination of travel in the form of a long-term goal, a five-yearly review cycle to consider and strengthen emissions targets, and strong transparency and accountability rules to give stakeholders confidence that countries will deliver on their commitments. As well as to reduce the greenhouse gas emission, this new agreement should also to solve the adaptation to the impacts of climate change and mobilizing climate finance to support climate action.
As a member of UNFCC, Timor-Leste has obligation to participate in this Conference of Parties on climate change in order to contribute its idea about how to solve the problem of climate change. In accordance to the article 7 of UNFCCC, that the Conference of Parties (COP) is the supreme body of the UNFCCC that can take decision on the implementation of this convention.
The objective of COP is to assess, review and take decision or make an agreement regarding the implementation of UNFCC obligations. Normally, the COP is held once a year, which is involved 196 countries that ratified the convention. The COP 21 will be held in Paris-France, from November 30th to December 11th next month, that Timor-Leste will participate to discuss and conclude a new agreement on combating global climate change.
"The Paris conference will be a historic opportunity to accelerate the shift to a low-carbon, climate-resilient global economy. People around the world are looking to their leaders for a signal that they are ready and willing to take decisive action to tackle climate change. The EU and its Member States are committed to doing their part and working with our partners to ensure that Paris is a success.” Said Sylvie Tabesse, EU Ambassador.
