Socio-Legal Opportunities and Barriers to Achieving the Objectives of the Paris Agreement in Selected Sub-Saharan African Countries
Abstract
The 2015 Paris Agreement promises to strengthen the global response to climate change in the context of sustainable development. This chapter examines the socio-legal opportunities and barriers to achieving the objectives of the Paris Agreement in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, and Nigeria. The three countries have unique approaches to addressing climate change due to their unique areas of intensive carbon emissions. They represent the East, West, and Southern areas in SSA. The chapter investigates the impact of climate change mitigation activities in line with the Paris Agreement on societies in the chosen countries. It evaluates the core climate change mitigation target per country to identify opportunities and challenges to achieving the mitigation objectives of the Paris Agreement in SSA. The chapter finds that while there are opportunities for SSA countries to pursue the low carbon and climate change mitigation objectives of the Paris Agreement, a danger may lie in following the global climate agenda under the Paris Agreement at the cost of national circumstances.
