Are climate treaties, like the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) or the Paris Agreement, the only way forward for intergovernmental climate cooperation? By now, there are hundreds of multilateral treaties governing a wide range of environmental issues, including energy, freshwater, oceans, air pollution, biodiversity conservation, hazardous waste, agriculture and fisheries. This policy brief examines whether the 379 multilateral environmental treaties that do not primarily address climate change can nevertheless contribute to advancing climate commitments.
We find that decisions adopted under environmental treaties have increasingly mainstreamed climate considerations since 1990. Today, climate-related decisions account for around 10% of regulatory decisions adopted under environmental treaties across different issue areas. Some treaty regimes are particularly active in addressing climate change, such as those focused on energy, freshwater and habitats, with up to 60% of their decisions addressing climate change. In contrast, treaties regulating agriculture and fisheries demonstrate a notably lower level of engagement in climate mainstreaming.
These findings demonstrate that environmental treaties that do not specifically focus on climate change can still contribute to shaping climate governance, albeit to varying degrees. This policy brief concludes with a set of recommendations for researchers, treaty negotiators, secretariats, governments and climate activists seeking to advance intergovernmental cooperation on climate change through means other than climate treaties.
Key policy messages:
Non-climate-focused treaties can serve as a means for developing climate mitigation and adaptation commitments, notably through decisions adopted by their respective bodies. Yet, there is room for increased climate mainstreaming in those decisions. Various actors can contribute to such mainstreaming:
• Researchers could further investigate why some conferences of the parties (COPs) are more receptive to climate concerns than others and what potential trade-offs are associated with climate mainstreaming in environmental treaties.
• Treaty negotiators can favour cross-cutting mandates that enhance policy coherence across interconnected environmental challenges, enabling a more integrated approach to environmental decision-making. They can also design dynamic collective bodies, able to adopt decisions swiftly when new issues or information arise.
• Governments can appoint climate experts in non-climate COPs and advisory committees and report climate-related aspects of their implementation of non-climate treaties.
• Treaty secretariats can coordinate joint initiatives and promote knowledge exchange across climate and other environmental regimes.
• Climate activists can intensify their engagement with non-climate COPs by participating in consultations, submitting position papers, and collaborating with sympathetic delegates to amplify the climate relevance of treaty decisions.

La Commission européenne a proposé mercredi 17 septembre de taxer davantage les produits israéliens importés dans l'UE, et de sanctionner deux ministres d'extrême droite du gouvernement de Benyamin Netanyahu, a annoncé la cheffe de la diplomatie de l'UE Kaja Kallas. C'est un changement majeur de position que propose l'exécutif européen, choisissant de faire pression sur Israël au sujet de sa campagne meurtrière dans la bande de Gaza. Cette mesure n'a toutefois guère de chance d'être adoptée par les Vingt-Sept, faute d'un soutien suffisant.

Le gouvernement togolais met un accent particulier sur le sport dans le système éducatif. À compter de la rentrée scolaire 2025-2026, de nouveaux programmes d’éducation physique et sportive (EPS) entrent officiellement en vigueur, selon une circulaire interministérielle publiée le 16 septembre.

Le document, cosigné par le ministre des Enseignements primaire et secondaire, Prof. Dodzi Kokoroko, et le ministre de l’Enseignement technique et de la Formation professionnelle, Isaac Tchiakpe, rappelle que le sport doit occuper une place centrale dans la formation des élèves. « La formation de citoyens réflexifs, pleins d’initiatives et acteurs du progrès social, pouvant apporter une plus-value au système économique et à l’expression culturelle, passe également par une pratique saine et inclusive du sport », souligne la circulaire.

Ces nouveaux programmes sont le fruit des travaux de la Commission d’éducation physique et sportive, créée en décembre 2023. Ils visent à donner une nouvelle impulsion à l’enseignement-apprentissage de l’EPS en l’inscrivant dans une approche plus inclusive et adaptée à un cadre d’apprentissage serein et attrayant.

Concrètement, les chefs d’inspection sont appelés à mettre les documents pédagogiques à la disposition des établissements scolaires. Par ailleurs, un après-midi par semaine sera réservé aux activités parascolaires, afin de renforcer la pratique sportive au sein des écoles.

La circulaire précise que l’animation de la vie sportive incombe à tous les enseignants d’EPS. Chaque établissement devra désigner un coordonnateur des activités sportives parmi eux. Ce dernier sera chargé, avec ses collègues, de la planification, de la gestion du matériel et de l’organisation de la participation des équipes aux compétitions scolaires.

À travers cette réforme, le gouvernement ambitionne de redonner toute sa place au sport dans le système éducatif. « Il est crucial que notre système scolaire renoue pleinement avec le sport et que cette conciliation revitalisée devienne une marque distinctive de l’école de la République », conclut la circulaire.
