“…The Paris Agreement has been heralded as ‘unprecedented,’ ‘historic’ and a ‘landmark’ in general and as a specific success for the EU. In particular, it exceeded expectations regarding mitigation ambition and thereby brought it close to what the EU had advocated . Comparing EU policy objectives with the relevant provisions of the Paris Agreement substantiates the high level of EU goal achievement.…”

After its defeat at the Copenhagen climate summit in 2009, the EU can be considered to have scored a relative success with the Paris Agreement adopted in December 2015. With the mitigation ambition of the agreement exceeding expectations, the EU realized its policy objectives to a greater extent than it may have anticipated itself. This success was made possible by a moderation of the EU’s policy objectives pursued proactively through an EU bridge‐building and coalition‐building strategy. It was enabled and facilitated by the great‐power politics between China and the US as well as the French Presidency of the Paris conference. With Paris, the EU thus appears to have consolidated its role as a ‘leadiator’ in international climate policy, which it took on after the failure of the Copenhagen conference and road‐tested for the first time in Durban in 2011. In a multipolar climate world, this new role model should remain relevant for the years to come. However, the unpredictability of the underlying internal and external political, economic, and technological dynamics suggests the wisdom of a regular review and adjustment of strategy.

“…En segundo término, y a diferencia de Copenhague, el país anfitrión era una potencia histórica en materia diplomática. Como veremos en el apartado siguiente la presidencia francesa actuó en muchos casos por iniciativa propia de forma separada de la delegación europea asumiendo muchos esfuerzos negociadores por su cuenta y cubriendo lagunas y descoordinaciones 57 . Finalmente China, que se había mostrado inflexible en Copenhague, estaba inmerso en un proceso de transformación económica que la haría virar, antes pronto que tarde, a un modelo de crecimiento más sostenible.…”

Resumen: En la literatura sobre cambio climático existe un consenso en que la UE (Unión Europea) ha sido la gran impulsora de acuerdos, tanto por su rol activo en las negociaciones como su labor en el diseño de un modelo de economía sostenible. Sin embargo, no ha sido hasta el «fracaso» de Copenhague en que se haya estudiado con más profundidad el mecanismo de actuación de la diplomacia europea en la materia, las estrategias seguidas, las razones de los éxitos y los fracasos. En este trabajo analizaremos, en primer lugar, cómo la UE se convirtió en
