“…Political decisions based on CO2 accounting are challenging because of geographic and historical heterogeneities and differential benefits from the choice of accounting approach, as reflected in the rich literature of climate change discussions and negotiations (see, for examples, Bernstein et al, 2010;Betsill, 2010;Dimitrov, 2010).…”

A large fraction of anthropogenic CO 2 emissions comes from large point sources such as power plants, petroleum refineries, and large industrial facilities. The existence and locations of these facilities depend on a variety of factors that include the distribution of natural resources and the economy of scale of operating large facilities. These large facilities provide goods and/or services well beyond the political jurisdiction in which they reside and their emissions to the global atmosphere are not a simple reflection of the consumption of goods and services within the geographic region in which they reside. And yet many accounting schemes do not distinguish between emissions for local consumption and emissions for export. Looking at the geographic distribution of large point sources of CO 2 emissions in the U.S. suggests that per capita emissions from a geographic area are not necessarily a good indication of the mitigation responsibility of the residents. The design of effective and fair mitigation strategies needs to consider that emissions embodied in the products of large facilities, such as electric power and refined petroleum products, are often transferred across accounting boundaries; e.g. the CO 2 emissions occur in one jurisdiction even though the electricity is used in another. We close with a short discussion of how two sub-national emissions trading schemes in the U.S. have confronted the issue of embodied emissions crossing their jurisdictional boundaries.

“…Entre les positions des pays occidentaux, celles des grands pays émergents (la Chine, l'Inde et le Brésil) ou encore celles plus radicales de certains pays comme la Bolivie, la signature d'un accord à la hauteur des espérances des organisateurs était bien impossible. Dans un climat de crise économique globale, la question environnementale devient, pour de nombreux États, bien secondaire face à l'impératif de relancer la croissance (Dimitrov, 2010). Ainsi, malgré l'importance incontestée que la question environnementale est en train de prendre pour beaucoup d'États qui commencent à développer des politiques environnementales plus exigeantes, et pour des sociétés civiles plus sensibles à ses enjeux, celle-ci ne semble pas affecter profondément les cadres de la gouvernance globale, toujours dominée par les enjeux économiques et géostratégiques.…”

Environnement et construction du bien commun local : l’apport de l’analyse du discours

La question environnementale s'impose aujourd'hui à des espaces de gouvernance en mutation. Elle est en même temps actrice et révélatrice de l'évolution de logiques de gouvernance et de leur capacité à constituer des espaces de gestion du bien commun, notamment à l'échelle locale. En mobilisant une grille d'analyse du discours dans la tradition foucaldienne ainsi que les travaux de Boltanski et Thévenot sur la justification, nous proposons un cadre méthodologique pour saisir la dynamique d'évolution de la gouvernance locale sous le poids de la question environnementale au Liban. À la lumière de notre analyse, la transition environnementale au niveau local est plus un processus dynamique qui complexifie les paysages de gouvernance locale et fragmente les espaces de construction du bien commun, qu'un processus linéaire d'élargissement de ces espaces. MOTS-CLÉS  Local, transition environnementale, analyse du discours, justification, bien commun, Liban     ABSTRACTThe environmental issue imposes itself today on the mutating spaces of governance. It is also revealing of the evolution of the logics of governance and their capacity to create spaces for managing common good, especially at local level. By relying on a foucauldian discourse analysis framework and the writings of Boltanski and Thévenot on justification, we propose a methodology for grasping the dynamics of evolution of local governance in Lebanon when confronted with the challenge of dealing with environmental issues. Based on our analysis, we could say that the environmental transition at the local level is more a dynamic process that complexifies the landscapes of local governance and fragments the spaces of common good than a linear process enlarging these spaces.

“…As a result, some researchers portray the possibility of finding a solution to tackle the global climate crisis in rather pessimistic terms (see Helm, 2008;Brennan, 2009;Dimitrov, 2010a). It is however assumed here that coordination between players is possible and that they can either redefine the rules of the game to overcome the Prisoner's Dilemma through reciprocal expectations, or suffer the consequences of failure together (Schelling, 1960, p. 107).…”
