Targets

Germany government has an agreement on reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80 to 95% by 2050.[1]

The UK has legally bound by the Climate Change Act to reduce emissions 80% by 2050, but a new law mandating a 100% cut is under discussion in 2016. [2]

Please give more data of the progress of the Conference. My concern is: Are we taking this seriously? Are all emissions included? Are GWG from wood burning included? Peatlands are vitally important in the global carbon cycle . Healthy peat bogs have a net long-term ‘cooling’ effect on the climate. Peatlands rely on water. When drained, peatlands waste away through oxidation, adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. For example Finland has ditched about half of its peatlands since 1970 and the share of peat energy have increased since year 2000. Peatlands degrade because they are ditched, used for cultivation or burned away as energy and in forest fires. These emission should be cumulatively since 1970. Construction business has high risk in corruption. Why emission of construction is neglected? If we take climate change seriously, we include in agreements all emissions. What is discussed in the congress? Watti Renew (talk) 17:51, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think this article needs to include more specifics on things that happened in the conference. Keynote speakers and discussion topics should be added. Countries in attendance should also be added, as well as which countries ultimately voted to continue to implement the Paris Agreement. We can also explain how this conference relates to climate change movements as a whole. http://unfccc.int/meetings/marrakech_nov_2016/meeting/9567.php http://www.cop22-morocco.com

Here are some sources that include things like who attended/what was proposed. Can be useful for adding more to this article. Dotytwo (talk) 19:38, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Katiasasha4 (talk) 04:21, 23 February 2017 (UTC) To add to the article you could potentially discuss what nations are currently involved in each of the previous agreements made at the conferences and if they are abiding by the rules they implemented and meeting the standards. Beyond that you potentially add in some statistics on the effectiveness of the agreements and if they've achieved any of their goals. As the times currently are we are aware that some nations have no longer been invited of attended such conferences and some have even gone so far as to disclaim a lot of the ambitions of the organization so this could be discussed. Lastly I would bring what politicians are predicting to occur in future years.[reply]

Best of luck!

Peer Review

I think you have done a great job deciding what issues you want to cover and add to in this page. I think you could do a better job using more sources and bringing in facts to help the reader more clearly understand what happened at the Convention. You did a good job using a neutral voice. Keep up the good work!!

Lots of good information present, you've done a good job narrowing down the issues you want to talk about. Some slight organizational changes: The organization and logistics section is very short and could just be added to the description section. The numbered lists should be turned into paragraph list form so that it looks more like a typical Wikipedia article. Continue adding information and elaborating on what you have - a lot of the sections are very short and could maybe be combined. Nice job! --Haricotsverts23 (talk) 05:28, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good use of sources

YOU had a lot of information that is current to the issues our global state is dealing with. I would re-word some of the dates in this article. In the Organization and logistics sections, your wording " and was held between 7 and 18 November 2016", it seemed a little off. All of the dates could use some work. However, a lot of important forums and discussion's were pointed out in this article. Good jobS.RenteriaT (talk) 06:24, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
