CONTRIBUCIONES PREVISTAS Y DETERMINADAS A NIVEL NACIONAL vs DISTRIBUCIÓN JUSTA
Summary
This fact sheet by Friends of the Earth International examines the role of Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) in the lead-up to the Paris Agreement. It argues that the current system of self-proposed national plans is insufficient to limit global warming to 1.5°C and that developed nations are failing to acknowledge their historical responsibility. The document advocates for a 'fair share' approach based on a global carbon budget to determine equitable national responsibilities for mitigation, adaptation, and finance.
Key insights
- Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) are proposed national plans for addressing climate change that serve as the foundation for the Paris Agreement and the future multilateral climate system.
- Current INDCs from the world's worst historical carbon emitters are insufficient and do not reflect their historical responsibility; if these promises are indicative of future action, global temperatures could rise by 4-6°C.
- Many industrialized nations are attempting to limit the Paris Agreement to mitigation only, ignoring UNFCCC guidelines to include adaptation and excluding other critical elements like finance, loss and damage, and technology transfer.
- The ability of developing countries to contribute to mitigation and include adaptation or loss and damage measures in their INDCs depends on the magnitude of financial and technological support provided by wealthy nations.
- A 'fair share' (distribución justa) approach is proposed as an alternative to self-proposed contributions. This involves defining a global carbon budget to limit warming to 1.5°C and allocating it based on each nation's responsibility, capacity, and right to sustainable societies.
