International fairness and justice in addressing global climate change

Abstract

An important discussion is in progress on how a fair and efficient international agreement on climate change might be effectively realised among OECD countries. In contribution to that discussion, it can be shown that different rules for the allocation of future greenhouse gas emissions (themselves generated by different conceptions of ‘justice') envision widely disparate actions for the various OECD countries. In light of these differences, it can be argued that a twin‐track strategy should be followed: a short‐term agreement should be based upon a traditional ‘flat‐rate’ approach, but the promise of a ‘differentiated’ approach encourages further debate about its application in the longer term.
