United States of America (US Sample Clauses

United States of America (US. The influence of the United States in international climate change negotiations is significant. This is to some extent grounded in its position as the largest economy and the second largest emitter of GHG emissions. The economy of the US is heavily reliant on imports from other countries and as such plays a significant role in international maritime transport and its consequent emissions of GHG. According to the World Trade Organization (WTO), the US is the leading world importer and the second leading exporter (through other means as well).36 This makes maritime emission regulations a matter of concern for the US as it has the potential of jeopardizing the US economic interest. The US came to Paris with two fundamental non-compromising stances. The first stance concerns the definition of the concept of Common But Differentiated Responsibilities (CBDR) and the legal nature of the Paris agreement (Biedenkopf, 2016). The principle of CBDR as explained in earlier chapters ensured a clear-cut responsibility between developed and developing countries with developed countries bearing the largest share of climate change mitigation. The US stance of not wanting China and other emerging economies to have fewer responsibilities than itself, a position which goes as far back as 1997, was still persistent and continued to be important for US domestic politics (Biedenkopf, 2016; Sicurelli, 2016). Furthermore, the US government is captive to its political institutions which is evident in its history of non-ratification of climate deals resulting from Senate refUSl of ratification (Biedenkopf, 2016; Xxxxxxxxx, 2010). With the presence of a Republican Senate majority who had categorically stated that it would not ratify an international treaty that would bind the United States to GHG emission reduction targets, the US government was likely to reject any treaty that would be binding (Biedenkopf, 2016; Xxxxxxxxx, 2010; Sicurelli, 2016). The Obama administration tried not to risk contesting “the still popular Xxxx-era doctrine of rejecting the Protocol as a threat to US economic competitiveness and jobs”, a decision based on the 0000 Xxxx-Xxxxx resolution (Xxxxxxxxx, 2010:650). For this reason, the United States ensured the drafting of a global climate agreement that presented a binding procedure but no tangible mitigation or financing obligations 36 World Trade Organization, International Trade and Market Access Data.
