Climate Change: the Road to Paris (Special reports)

Special reports published by EurActiv in January 2015.

+ Europe losing influence in climate negotiations
With ten months to go before the COP 21, Paris is doing all it can to provide the ideal conditions for a global agreement. Europe hopes to play a facilitating role in the international negotiations, which will focus on the needs and attainable contributions of individual countries.

+ Carbon pricing: a challenge for the future
The concept of carbon pricing as a tool to combat climate change is broadly accepted by the international community. But at what price, and under what conditions? As the world looks for ways to cut CO2 emissions, many questions remain unanswered.

+ Laurence Tubiana: ‘EU-China climate agreement is conceivable’
Climate change specialist Laurence Tubiana is the negotiator representing France at the 2015 Paris Climate Conference. She took the time to share her views on of the discussions between the world's biggest CO2 emitters with EurActiv France.

+ Climate negotiations reveal new alliances in the Global South
The economic divides between developing countries are widening. In order to defend their interests at the climate negotiations, large emerging economies, small island states and the less advanced countries are forming alliances based on common concerns.

+ Climate finance eclipsed by fossil fuel subsidies
The successful conclusion of a global agreement at the Paris Climate Conference depends heavily on the mobilisation of finance for the fight against climate change. So far, international fundraising efforts have lacked intensity.
