Climate Justice and the Principle of Equity in Negotiations
Climate justice and equity are foundational concepts in India's approach to international climate negotiations, especially under the UNFCCC and Paris Agreement frameworks. Climate justice refers to the fair treatment of all countries and communities, acknowledging historical emissions, differences in capacity, and the right to sustainable development.
Background
- India has historically championed the equity principle, successfully embedding CBDR-RC (Common but Differentiated Responsibilities and Respective Capabilities) in UNFCCC/Paris texts and insisting on differentiated ambitions, technology transfer, and finance support from developed nations.
- India’s climate negotiations push back against “uniform standards” and call out “carbon debt” owed by high-emissions of developed economies.
