New Arenas for Climate Policy: Energy & Climate Issues in EU Foreign Relations
Over the past years, the major arenas for climate policy – multilateral frameworks and national, supranational (EU) and local level implementation policies – have been complemented by new, bilateral policy arenas dealing with energy and/or climate issues.
This document is a KyotoPlus Paper. KyotoPlus-Papers are working papers to inform the conference "KyotoPlus – Escaping the Climate Trap“ (28 - 29 September 2006, Berlin).
Over the past years, the major arenas for climate policy – multilateral frameworks (mainly UNFCCC/KP) and national, supranational (EU) and local level implementation policies – have been complemented by new, bilateral policy arenas dealing with energy and/or climate issues.
In these arenas, climate, energy, security, economic, trade, development and foreign policy converge. The overall philosophies underlying these trends are contradictory, ranging from power politics based on narrow competitive economic interests and/or geopolitics to cooperative approaches around policy goals such as climate protection, global economic and social cohesion, or conflict prevention.
The new arenas therefore provide opportunities for both climate diplomacy and for implementation measures, but also contain some counterproductive trends.
