This article discusses the political will, effectiveness, and union versus stagnation in tackling the climate change crisis. It highlights the increase in greenhouse gas emissions and the failures of international climate change conferences. The article also proposes a global interactive system as a solution, emphasizing the need for change in habits, integration of sustainable development principles, and strengthening the role of Designated National Authorities (DNA) in coordinating and supervising efforts. The system aims to go beyond the future of the Kyoto protocol and international negotiations.

GLOBAL INTERACTIVE SYSTEMon CLIMATE CHANGE CRISIS María Mercedes Introini Octubre 2011
Political will: slow down and stagnation • Increase GHG emissions of 70% between 1970 and 2004 • 2.4% increase of emissions in 2010, which follows a 7% drop in 2009 (E.U.) • Failure of COP 15 Copenhagen and COP16 Cancun. • Pressures from US and Europe, despite dissent from developing countries.
EFECTIVENESS & UNIONVSSTAGANATION & LACK OF VISION • Big international structures without vision and leadership. • Lack of political will and effective performance from policymakers. • Fragmentation of resources. • Lack of information. • Overlapped of efforts. • Inconsistencies in the use of tools. • No access to Internet for many countries (LDC´s)
Global interactive system First stage Second stage Ownership of international community The same structure but without the rigidity that an international organization represents. Working by “their own”. Fluid and friendly-used platform. DNA´s: key actors on coordination and supervision. A total clutch with UNFCCC infrastructure. • Facilitators per region and language. • Direct contact by traditional ways for countries that do not have access to Internet. • Coordination and responsibility of the reliability of the information: DNA´s
CONCLUSIONS • Change on habits and general culture on consumption, business and public policies is urgently need. • Integrate principles of sustainable development into country policies and programs, under Goal 7 of MDG. • Strength the role and capacity building of DNA´s. • Less dependence on international structures. • Active platform: knowledge and experience sharing and tools. • Exists beyond Kyoto protocol´s future and international negotiations.
