Justice climatique et négociations internationales

This paper draws on normative principles embedded within the international climate regime in order to sketch an institutional reform that would help to bridge the growing gap between existing climate policies and the demands of climate justice. The paper explains why developed countries’ nationally determined contributions are currently insufficient and unfair, and then develops a normative framework based on the principle of “common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities” that would make future national contributions more ambitious and more just. The point is to include an equity calculator to countries’ nationally determined contributions and to explain why this proposal is institutionally feasible.
