El papel de la Unión Europea en la gobernanza global en materia climática
Abstract
The European Union (EU) has proactively sought to become a leader in the global governance of climate change since the late 80’s of the XXth century. This has been so despite an asymmetric demand for climate action on the part of Member States and despite the complexity of cooperative international action. Past events are indicative of the existence of directional leadership by the EU at certain points in time and in certain aspects of climate negotiations. However, both internal factors and external factors, such as the economic and political clout of other large polluters, have sidelined the EU for example during COP15*. The objective of this article is to analyse the role of the EU in the global governance of climate change, the variables that have a bearing on the role of the EU as a directional leader and the pending challenges in the governance of climate change. * COP is the acronym for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
