All roads lead to Paris in December for the COP 21 and some countries are still preparing their INDCs while others have submitted theirs. As climate change has become a global issue of which has called for the need of world leaders to gather, the politics of it is very important and therefore necessary for countries to critically analyze their INDCs before they submit them.

The intended nationally determined contributions of every country of the UNFCCC which is supposed to represent the country’s position and commitment to combatting climate change in line with the sustainable development goals (SDG) 13 which is to stop climate change, 14 which is to protect the ocean and 15 which is taking care of the earth must be carefully looked at and the inputs made must critically take into consideration or account, the future of our children and the unborn generation.

Therefore having a careful look at the INDCs submitted by some of the developing countries and if that is the toll others are going to take, then it is evident that we would not be able to achieve the 2?c target or 1.5 degree set for global temperature and the low carbon emissions which we want to achieve.

Although some countries like Gabon have withdrawn their INDCs to review them, it is worth noting that Morocco on the other hand have done a great job in their INDCs and we believe that they should be a beacon for others to follow so as to effectively achieve the 2?c set global temperature target.

It will be more prudent for the Annex 1 countries, the EU, the US, Canada and others should do better and show robust leadership by withdrawing their INDCs and scaling up their contributions. Abibimman Foundation believe if we really want to make significant progress then the INDCs should be more ambitious.

This will help after the adoption at the cop in the achievement to low carbon emissions, a green economy and the 2?c global temperature set target.

Abibimman Foundation is calling on the Developing countries to do more in the preparation of their INDCs and those that have submitted must withdraw and review their INDCs by improving their contributions.

The adaptation measures taken by countries that have submitted their INDCs are vague and will not really address climate issues adaption. A more practical steps must be taken as adaptation measures to make it more feasible, realistic and achievable.

Establish key principles to guide its implementation, some of which are already contained in the Convention, and some of which, such as respect for human rights Of all, should not be left behind; A universal core agreement that binds all Parties under international law, to take effect from 2020.

This should take the form of a Protocol or another ancillary agreement with the same effect. The requirement of ratification is usually strong evidence of countries’ intent to be bound.
