Back in December 2015, the Paris Climate Agreement was hailed as a 鈥渉istoric鈥� achievement - 17 months later it rather looks like international diplomacy has incurred an on-the-job accident of historic proportions, Andreas Mihm writes in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. Climate diplomacy has visibly lost momentum 鈥減artly due to Trump, whose criticism of environmental policy greatly irritates conservationist organisations and leaves other governments clueless鈥�, Mihm says. 鈥淏ut it鈥檚 not all Trump鈥檚 fault鈥� 鈥� many economists are convinced that the voluntary commitments by signatories of the Paris Agreement are inadequate to substantially bring down emissions, and instead they call for a global carbon price. This 鈥渃hange of strategy鈥� would incentivise cost-efficient clean energy generation and ensure that Germany鈥檚 renewables expansion does not become 鈥渁 negative example鈥� that deters other countries due to its costs, Mihm says.
