Earlier today, Amb Strickland (@Str1ckFran) put in @AOSISChair's submission to the @CIJ_ICJ Advisory Opinion on Climate Change. RMI and PIF were also submitting at the same time. SIDS continue to shape IL on critical issues!

@arpithakodiveri I hope that you are getting something more exciting than my flock of mourning doves.

@annamariahubert One might even wonder if the "not undermine" language is a purposeful get-out-of-lackluster-fish-action-jail-free card.
A few years ago, @greenprofgreen and I wrote about the impossible political economy of effective high seas fisheries management: doi.org/10.1016/j.marp…

Sitting through another plenary at #PlasticsINC. More imagination is needed in regime design. We are sleep walking into a Paris Agreement on plastic.

🎙 Listen to @NYUGuarini Prof. @brycerudyk's reflections on the concerns and needs of Small Island Developing States in the face of #climatechange. 🏝 Timely 'The Climate Show' episode by @BeaMartinezR as COP27 UNFCCC UN negotiations in Sharm El-Sheikh are about to start🧵
English
@JenIrisAllan I would like to double like this awesome thread. There are many MEAs other than climate & can teach us about how to structure good agreements to solve enviro probs, including climate and plastics!
As well, #ChemicalsNerd usually means something quite different. 🤓

@DrSimEvans @mariluomi @JenIrisAllan Lots of (un)constructive ambiguity in that decision. 1st para reminds of nationally determined nature of NDCs. Negotiators that I've talked to say that the decision does not mandate 5 year timeframes.
English
@mariluomi @brycerudyk @JenIrisAllan Time will tell indeed!
Like Mari, I also interpreted the decision in combination with what was agreed at COP24 re the period from 2031 onwards to mean 5yr timeframes, but perhaps this is another case of constructive ambiguity in the text…
English
@mariluomi @JenIrisAllan It doesn't mandate the length--couldn't agree on specifying that. So clever solution was to specify end date. As all current NDCs have 5yr delay, then 10yr period ('25-'35) minus 5 yr delay = 5 yr NDC. But 5yr delay isn't mandated, so possible 10yr NDC in '25 running until '35.
English
@JenIrisAllan @brycerudyk As I understand it, the new decision mandates 5-year timeframes: 2031-2035 and 2036-2040 etc. And I am also mainly worried about the strength of the verb.
English
@mariluomi @JenIrisAllan They are speaking to different aspects of NDCs. 1/CP.21 = frequency of submission. CTF = end date as proxy for length of NDCs. So, no conflict between requests and encourages, but not great that CTF is only encouraged.
English
@JenIrisAllan Ohhh, I hadn't even thought of that interpretation. Do you think some would read it as 'either or' instead of 'and'?
English
@mariluomi @UNFCCC has a drafting style guide that lists the verbs, but not sure if it's public. Requests is usually used for legal obligations and invites/encourages/urges is usually for non-legal/non-obligations--but not always
English
@MatPaterson @JenIrisAllan @IISD_ENB I think that we need to consider the COP/CMA decisions as legal texts, not just political ones. COP Prez writes grand political rhetoric, but Parties interpret their obligations based on their legal interpretation of the highly negotiated words!
English
@TimmonsRoberts Sometimes someone does like it? Every time. But whether it's a problem depends on the size of the state.
English
While this allows delegates to sleep, this is a little scary, since sometimes the Presidency comes back with a text that someone really doesn't like. Tomorrow may go late! #COP26 #WeMayBeInGlasgowForever. unfccc.int/sites/default/…
