Abstract: The fifteenth Conference of Parties on climate change was held from 7 to 18 December 2009 in Copenhagen. A political commitment was reached between five countries: US, China, India Brazil and South Africa. This policy brief tried to look at the climate change negotiations from an African perspective. It tried to answer three questions to determine whether the outcome of the negotiations was indeed unacceptable, as qualified by South Africa. First, what was the African Common Position and what were some of their demands? Second, how did the negotiating strategy to defend the African Common Position on climate change evolve? Third, why did South Africa call the agreement it negotiated with the US, China and India unacceptable when it declined to be part of that deal? |
