Title

Climate Ambition of the Conference of Parties: A Content Analysis

Creator

Papanikolaki, Evangelia

Abstract

After 28 years since the first Conference of Parties (COP) and numerous policies adopted in the context of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), it is an interesting fact that greenhouse gas emissions persist on an ascending path. The following research paper is trying to answer the question: “To what extent have parties evolved in terms of ambition from 1995 to 2022?” This question will be approached both quantitatively and qualitatively, through content analysis of the Conference of Parties reports on decisions. This work aims to contribute to future research on the “hows” and “whens” of climate science reflected in policy-making, what ambition means for policy intensity and other questions on the climate nexus.
