Negotiators seek to produce the first legally binding and universal agreement on climate in over 20 years in order to keep global warming below 2\u00b0C. Various other attempts, such as the <a href=\"http:\/\/bigpicture.unfccc.int\/\">Kyoto Protocol<\/a> and the meeting in Copenhagen, have failed to produce a mechanism or an agreement that can achieve the goal of the Convention to prevent dangerous anthropogenic climate change.<\/p>\n<p>This is an extremely complicated agreement with contentious issues ranging from common but differentiated responsibility, <a href=\"http:\/\/bigpicture.unfccc.int\/\">mitigation<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/bigpicture.unfccc.int\/\">adaptation<\/a> and loss and damage, <a href=\"http:\/\/unfccc.int\/land_use_and_climate_change\/items\/8792.php\">forests and land use change<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/bigpicture.unfccc.int\/\">finance<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/bigpicture.unfccc.int\/\">capacity building<\/a>, market mechanisms, legal form, review mechanisms, and <a href=\"http:\/\/bigpicture.unfccc.int\/\">INDCs<\/a>. Additionally, there are over 190 negotiators, a number of party coalitions, and many non-state actors each pushing their own agenda. Nonetheless, the ability of the international community to prevent the worst effects of climate change greatly hinges on the success of this agreement.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Students from\u00a0<em>Global Environmental Politics<\/em>\u00a0have written on a variety of \u00a0these issues relating to the climate negotiations, and you can check out their blog posts here!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/cop21\/blog-posts\/a-piece-of-the-pie-how-common-but-differentiated-responsibility-assigns-countries-their-fair-share-in-the-fight-against-climate-change\/\">A Piece of the Pie<\/a>: by Michella Ore<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/cop21\/blog-posts\/adp-2-11-from-non-paper-to-draft-agreement\/\">ADP 2-11: From Non-Paper to Draft Agreement<\/a> by Annie Tewksbury<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/cop21\/blog-posts\/aosis-coalition-dynamics-looking-forward-to-cop21-in-paris\/\">AOSIS: Coalition Dynamics looking forward to COP21 in Paris<\/a> by Skylar Smith<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/cop21\/blog-posts\/can-a-developed-country-shape-climate-change-aid-negotiations-bolivias-stance-in-paris\/\">Can a Developing Country Shape Climate Change Aid Negotiations?
