Did the first global Stocktake successfully assess progress towards the Paris goals ‘in light of equity’
The Global Stocktake (GST) is designed to be at the heart of the Paris Agreement's ratcheting mechanism towards achieving the Paris goals. It has a mandate to be conducted ‘in the light of equity’ despite being a collective assessment which does not currently facilitate structured comparison of Parties' contributions. Based on a three-part normative framework, this study assesses the extent to which the first GST concluded in 2023 was successfull…
Ethical choices behind quantifications of fair contributions under the Paris Agreement
Fairly sharing 1.5: National fair shares of a 1.5 °C-compliant global mitigation effort
Greenhouse Development Rights: A Proposal for a Fair Global Climate Treaty
One of the core debates concerning equity in the response to the threat of anthropogenic climate change is how the responsibility to reduce greenhouse gas emissions should be allocated, or, correspondingly, how the right to emit greenhouse gases should be allocated. Two alternative approaches that have been widely promoted are, first, to assign obligations to the industrialized countries on the basis of both their ability to pay (wealth) and thei…
The Greenhouse Development Rights Framework: Drawing Attention to Inequality within Nations in the Global Climate Policy Debate
The urgency of the climate problem seems to require that stringent emissions reductions begin under the political economic institutions that currently exist. Any global climate treaty must, however, at least not make global inequality worse, and ideally should embody desirable principles of justice. The Greenhouse Development Rights framework (GDRs), described briefly here, is a proposal for such a fair division of the burdens of emissions reduct…
Greenhouse Development Rights: Towards an equitable framework for global climate policy
The assignment of obligations to pay for mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions and for adaptation to unavoidable climate change is a critical and controversial component of international negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. In this article we present a new framework called ‘Greenhouse Development Rights’ (GDRs): a formula for the calculation of national obligations on the basis of quantified capacity (wea…
Ecological decay and, eventually, war
It has been argued that the “ideal status quo” would be one in which “state security” and “the security of communities and peoples” are merged and, indeed, this is no longer a particularly controversial claim. We all share the same interests, at least in the fairylands of rhetoric. But note, all you who would be realists, that “states” on one side and “communities and people” on the other are not the only actors on this stage. There are also the …
Anti-Malthusianism: Ours and theirs
The age of greenwashing∗
Relief is on the way for PR clients on the environmental front... Green PR people are advised to ride the Republican fueled anti-environmental backlash as far as possible. But they should not be greedy because overreaching may come back to haunt them once the sun sets on the pro-business Republicans and greenies are again on the rise." - O'Dwyer's PR Services1
