Law/Patents - Accounting | | English term or phrase: historical overhang | Resolving issues of equity7, based on common but differentiated responsibility is of
crucial importance because developing countries did not cause the current atmospheric
warming but will be most affected by climate change. There is one less degree of
freedom when dealing with equity and distributional issues because climate change is
about the global commons. There are three key elements of addressing the equity
issue8:
1. The historical overhang distinction – what some countries are doing today, would
not be a problem if other countries hadn’t done it earlier.
2. The distributional consequences of global warming – poor countries will suffer
the most and the quickest.
3. Natural equity/justice – that poor countries should pay less. |
