8:30 pm
hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets calling for significant environmental policy changes at the u.n. summit. more than 200 people were arrested when they defied an order not to protest. it is sunday night and time for a look at the week ahead. the paris climate sug it, more than 150 world leaders are arriving at the capital. the meeting aimed at getting everyone on board in the effort to limit greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. the way to see results is to stop the planet's temperature from rising more than 2 degrees celsius above where it was before the industrial revolution. many countries took steps to fight climate change, officials say it's time for an international effort to search the common good. we have this report from paris. final preparations made.
8:31 pm
finishing touches applied. the official touches becomes u.n. territory for the u.n. conference. it's indicative of how indicatory the event is, where the chief is pursued by the strong for a tour of the site. >> what is finalised in paris is none other than the second legally binding instrument underconvention that would then go into effect in 2020 once through the kyoto protocol. >> the question is to what extent can it be bindable. it is coming at the beginning of the summit rather than the end. lima, warsaw, doha, copenhagen in denmark, they trip off the tup, the previous summits as a roll call of inactions and
8:32 pm

8:33 pm
negotiations put forward proposals on how they plan to keep emissions down. >> the trouble is it will be 3 degrees over preindustrial time. we are at 1 degree at the moment. we are already the hottest year ever. it was the hottest year, we see records, storms throughout other events about climate change. >> changes are enormous, the debate hard and furious in a search for united front against climate change. >> joining us is professor green, assistant professor of environmental studies. and an visor to the energy industry. and advisor to the energy group.
8:34 pm
he said he would begin with a brief summary. >> there are two things on the table. the first and most important. each country is making a voluntary commitment. as each country chooses to do so, it was appropriate for political context. it's about money. how much money, how much will they give it to the developing world and transition to clean the economy. the question to you, president obama is being looked at as the leaders of what comes out of the conference. >> how much influence does president obama have, given the act he has difficulty with whatever he proposing to conquest. >> he'll have difficulty for
8:35 pm
anything that comes out of paris. the one big advantage that the u.s. brings, is technology and finance. the ability of finance that the u.s. can put forth, and technology that will be crucial to any agreement. >> nothing was accomplished. what is different this time. >> i think there are a number of things that are different. people are becoming frightened. second, previous efforts have not worked. we need to do something. instead of taking a top-down
8:36 pm
approach countries decided a relaxed approach is the way to go. making it more appropriate for countries to move forward. protocols apply to developing nartion, whatever fuel sources they have. how difficult will it be to manage the conflict. >> it requires developed countries, this time around the world said everybody needs to try to reduce their emission, and the way that they have circumvented the difficulty described, developing countries want to build their countries, is to choose their own ways to reduce. these are imposed by a third party or international law. rather each country is presenting its own nationally
8:37 pm
determined contribution. it was to say this is what we'll do, we'll green the industry. whatever we think will work best in our country with your contacts is the way each will move forward. >> you are talking about the nationally determined contributions. to the best of your knowledge, how are those contributions, those self-directed goals working at this point towards reaching that 2 degree celsius threshold. >> has your preview tated, they are nowhere near the 2 degree target. closer to the target, it is a step in the right direction. this is the start to
8:38 pm
negotiations. hopefully through this positive approach of cooperations, putting forth we see what is going to be a long process, you prmpt me to arriving the question. to what will extent is it a political show, leading to policies that can and will be implemented by all of the parties? >> well, i strongly feel that it is not a political show. this is the first time we see willingness from the parties to sit around the table and identify the best path to move forward. we are not the 2 degree target. we are on the path to setting up accountability, transparency, and a path to get there, and
8:39 pm
revision of the targeted. i think we need to see the political leadership. the launch of initiative. technology that can help us. definitely not a political show. you have written about how this could work in reducing gren house emissions. >> it's not only a show in paris, there's ms apparent the world trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
8:40 pm
despite what happens. california. they have a track and trade missing. the price carbon, 13 barrels a tonne. 85 per cent is covered. private actors are collecting data. investors are taking those data into consideration when they are making big investment decisions, so despite going forward, the question is how much will they contribute to getting to the 2 degrees target. >> hold the point, please. >> president obama's clean power is not welcomed to open arms, 27
8:41 pm
states sued to stop it. it is also about jabs. west virginia gets 95% of power from goal. when you take an axe to a problem. you tend to hurt whole segments of the society. we think people are trying to take the bread and butter off the table. when do you fight back. >> demonstrators are pushing for carbon capture, reducing emissions while using coal. professor green, let me ask you, how do you balance with a state like kentucky, that is so dependent on coal, which produces problems, right, for greenhouse gases. how do you balance their
8:42 pm
concerns with protecting the environment. >> they have legitimate concerns. at the end of the day everyone has concerns. we have to transition away from face ill fuel. coal is the dirtiest and natural gas and shale. we have to make the balance and move ahead. the clean power plan built in flexibility so states can decide how to reach the goal. at the end of the day some plants will be closed. >> people will lose their jobs. >> new jobs will be created, and people will lose their jobs because of climate change as well. we have to take that into consideration. what is your answer to the question of balance. i know that you are involved in
8:43 pm
pribility enterhighs. with report to certainly issues. i'm we have to increase the share of clean technologies, given what was discussed with records to the clean power plant, it doesn't mean a move away from coal. we need new technologies helping us with the problems. it's not just coal. it's going to have to be gas and industry. what you mentioned before, the carbon capture and storage is one such path. in addition to others. in efficiency. when you are talking about jobs, in eastern europe.
8:44 pm
goal production by 2030 or 2040, you need to have very supportive at the government level. to develop a portfolio. to allow countries to manage the interaction between goals, energy security and goals at the local level which translates into jobs. >> i have a different position. >> let me interrupt you there and ask a question about tax credits. cap and trade. the methodologies, how effective have they been. i'll put it to you professor green. the first answer is this is an evolving process. the oldest carbon market in the e.u. since 2006. the california market came
8:45 pm
online. we work in the sense we assigned rights to carbon emissions. as the caps get progressively ratcheted down, so, too, do emissions go down. the question and whether governments about will be willing to ratchet those down, and at what price - what the price will be. right now they are trading the achievement. i understand that you don't think they have been working too well in europe. >> i don't think they have been achieving a state of goals. working in some regards. we as a global community are learning how to do this better. they were going through various reiterations of our own system and work on improving past failures. if we look at the carbon markets to deliver on the 2 degrees
8:46 pm
reduction, they need to be strengthened, they need wider participation. they need to reduce the amount of free credit. and really create a market system, not a hybrid system where we have allegations with a cap that is generous, keeping the price of carbon low we have not discussed individual responsibility in what people can do, that is a topic for another day. let me thank my guests. professor green and mikhaila. thank you for joining us for our week at look ahead the monarch butterfly population was about a billion strong. that is down to millions. next - a safe haven for the colourful creatures, a butterfly sank tu air wra in mexico.
