The Impact

AbstrakPerubahan iklim telah menjadi permasalahan global yang memberikan dampak pasti dan tidak terelakan lagi di tingkat regional maupun internasional. Meningginya permukaan air laut, mencairnya es di kutub, sampai kerugian ekonomi di wilayah Pasifik sebagaimana dilansir oleh Asian Development Bank di tahun 2013. Meningkatnya pemanasan global dan produksi gas rumah kaca memberikan ancaman tersendiri untuk pembangunan berkelanjutan. Adanya komitmen warga dunia dalam menjalin kerja sama guna menekan produksi gas rumah kaca dan menanggulangi dampak perubahan iklim dapat dilihat dari beberapa instrumen internasional terkait hal tersebut yang secara bertahap telah dihasilkan dan diemplementasikan. Adanya kerja sama dari negara-negara maju sebagai penyumbang gas emisi terbanyak dengan negara-negara berkembang seharusnya mampu menghasilkan kolaborasi yang cukup baik dalam upaya penanganan dampak perubahan iklim. Indonesia, dalam hal ini sesuai dengan prinsip common but differentiated responsibilities turut serta dalam upaya penanganan perubahan iklim dengan ratifikasi perjanjian internasional, implementasi melalui satuan petugas khusus di bidang perubahan iklim, dan penegakan hukum dalam upaya melestarikan lingkungan. AbstractClimate change has become a global problem and has certain and uninevitable impacts globally or internationally. Sea level rising, ice melting in the pole or even economic damages in Pacific region released by 2013 Asian Development Bank. Increasing of global warming and greenhouse gasses production provide a separate threat to sustainable development. The commitment of the worldwide community to cooperate in order to reduce the production of greenhouse gasses and mitigate the impact of climate change could be seen from several international instruments related to it has gradually produced and implemented. The cooperation of the developed countries as the largest contributor to the emissions and developing countries should be able to produce a pretty good collaboration in efforts to address climate change impacts. Indonesia, in this case in accordance with the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities to participate in efforts to address climate change with the ratification of international treaties, the implementation through a special unit of officers in the field of climate change, and law enforcement in an effort to preserve the environment.

Global Food

Global food insecurity is becoming more severe under the threat of rising global carbon dioxide concentrations, increasing population, and shrinking farmlands and their degeneration. We acquired the ISI Web of Science platform for over 31 years (1988–2018) to review the research on how climate change impacts global food security, and then performed cluster analysis and research hotspot analysis with VosViewer software. We found there were two drawbacks that exist in the current research. Firstly, current field research data were defective because they were collected from various facilities and were hard to integrate. The other drawback is the representativeness of field research site selection as most studies were carried out in developed countries and very few in developing countries. Therefore, more attention should be paid to developing countries, especially some African and Asian countries. At the same time, new modified mathematical models should be utilized to process and integrate the data from various facilities and regions. Finally, we suggested that governments and organizations across the world should be united to wrestle with the impact of climate change on food security.

The World Bank

The World Bank and Asian Development Bank (ADB) use an instrument called country environmental analysis (CEA) to help identify a client country's key environment-development issues and their likely relevance to future lending and technical assistance. This research examines the issue of climate change in the context of international development and then reviews existing practice on addressing climate change in World Bank and ADB CEAs between 2003 and 2009. It shows much greater attention over time to projected climate change impacts and climate change in relation to particular sectors. There is an overall upward trend toward increasing attention to climate change in other aspects as well. Based on review of CEA documents, resulting baseline data, and relevant literature, climate change review categories and guiding principles are proposed as a basis for the possible development of guidance materials and toward more systematic incorporation of the issue of climate change in future CEAs.

scholarly journals What Justice? Whose justice?: Rethinking climate justice through climate change impacts and options for adaptation in Africa

Climate change is considered a justice issue based on the causes of the phenomenon, its impacts and polices designed to manage it. Previous studies have revealed that Africa and the entire developing world contribute less to Green House Gas emissions (GHG) which is the leading cause of climate change, but they suffer the most from its consequences, whereas the first world, whose contribution to GHG is immense but the impact of the phenomenon to them is minimal. In this article, I made use of climate change impacts and adaptation options to scrutinise the concept of climate justice in Africa. The article sought to establish whether or not climate justice has a place on the African continent. To achieve that objective, I critically assessed climate change impacts and options for adaptation in various African countries vis-à-vis climate justice. The study found that climate justice is a farce for Africa because climate disruptions affect nations differently and adaptive capacities differ as well. It also emerged that climate change-based impacts in Africa largely affect women and poor people. Lastly, the desire for profit among developed countries and climate-based organisations deters the urgency for climate justice across the globe.

Common but Differentiated Responsibilities and Respective Capabilities: Did This Principle Ever Exist?

Self Differentiation

This article argues that the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)’s conception of common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities (CBDRRC) was never effectively implemented through the Kyoto Protocol. The investments under the Kyoto Protocol’s Clean Development Mechanism suggest that CBDRRC has been used by developed countries to buy a “right to pollute”, i.e., maintaining or even increasing their greenhouse gas emissions, while investing in clean energy in developing nations, thus defeating the essence of CBDRRC as intended under the UNFCCC. Second, it points out that the Paris Agreement reflects a significant shift in the CBDRRC, both in terms of its textual understanding as well as its implementation. A qualifier, “in the light of national circumstances”, was added to the principle of CBDRRC in the Paris Agreement, allowing a form of voluntary self-differentiation. This qualifier diluted a top-down, objective analysis of States’ commitments. For several scholars, this shift has meant a softening of the principle, making the “differentiation” more dynamic and flexible. In the authors’ opinion, the qualifier is a fundamental modification of the principle to make it politically more palatable. It completely disregards the notion of historical responsibility for climate change, which was the cornerstone of CBDRRC as conceived under the UNFCCC. Therefore, rather than presenting a more flexible understanding of UNFCCC’s conception of CBDRRC, the Paris Agreement marks a total departure from it. Lacking an explicit redefinition of the principle of CBDRRC, it is misleading to contend that the Paris Agreement is still anchored in it.
