Summary

Climate change is a stock and not a flow pollution problem, though emissions from major developing countries are increasing very rapidly. Still the question of historical responsibility in reduction of emissions stands at the core of distributional equity. The Paris Agreement does not have an equity framework. The envisaged review-and-peer-pressure based bottom-up approach to mitigation is not likely to yield the desired result. The Convention-recognized Particularly Vulnerable Countries are trapped in a triple bind of increasing climate change impacts, unsupportive mitigation measures and dire lack of adaptation finance. So I argue that a differential application of the polluter-pays-principle has the potential to materialize universal cooperation in mitigation, and the money generated in the process can fund mitigation in emerging emitters and assist the PVCs in their adaptation.
