Abstract
Climate change law is a relative newcomer in the field of international law established by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in 1992. Over the past thirty years it developed rapidly and, ultimately, a new international treaty was adopted at the end of 2015 - the Paris Agreement.
The French presidency have mastered the art of navigating international negotiations and it was also thanks to their peculiar negotiating techniques that the talks were brought to a successful end. Organizers of the upcoming meeting of the parties should embrace a similar approach.
A difficult task for the 2021 Glasgow conference will be to agree on the last unresolved point - the implementing rules of the Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.
