Скачать или смотреть The International Political Economy of Fossil Fuel Supply

Fossil fuels account for approximately 86 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions over the last decade, ye the Paris Agreement makes no mention of fossil fuels. In advance of the UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, the Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change called for revised national climate plans to enhance countries’ climate commitments. Simultaneously, transnational activists have launched a campaign for a “Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty,” which calls on governments to phase out fossil fuel production. We asses how fossil-fuel producing states respond to calls to address the production of fossil fuels. We compare the updated Nationally Determined Contributions of 59 fossil fuel-producing countries with data to analyze how countries articulate policy measures around the production of fossil fuels. Our analysis finds that despite theoretical expectations to the contrary, most countries have taken limited measures to address the supply of fossil fuels. Our study also highlights divergent pathways for countries that are primarily fossil fuel exporters and those that reply on imports to supplement domestic production. By providing an international political economy analysis of fossil fuel supply, we draw out implications for domestic just energy transitions.
