An auditing matrix of 21 indicators was developed through a critical discourse analysis. Among the indicators identified were: violence against women; capacity building and access to technology;…
Paris (COP21) Agreement
Climate policy documents are more interesting for what they leave out than what they contain. Using the COP21 negotiating texts, this article analyses the Paris Agreement to determine the good, the bad and the ugly of this ‘landmark’ document regarding loss and damage (L&D), adaptation and finance. The article establishes that among the good is that we have a universal deal in place that speaks to L&D and adaptation. the bad remains that developi…
One global deal from Paris 2015

However, as some emerging economies had continued to emit more…
