FICHE DE SYNTHESE RECAPITULATIF SUR L'EQUITE
Summary
The document advocates for a global carbon budget distributed according to historical responsibility, capacity, and the right to sustainable societies. It asserts that developed countries owe a climate debt to developing nations and must provide funding and technology without intellectual property restrictions. It calls for a systemic shift away from neoliberalism and fossil fuels toward community-owned renewable energy and agroecology to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
Key insights
- Equity in climate action requires that developed countries undertake the majority of emission reductions because they have disproportionately used the global atmospheric space and hold a significant historical responsibility, creating a climate and ecological debt to developing nations.
- A global carbon budget to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C should be allocated based on three criteria: historical responsibility for climate pressure, financial and technological capacity, and the needs of the most vulnerable and future generations.
- Developed nations should reduce emissions at the source, provide funding for adaptation and loss and damage, and facilitate access to technology and skills without using carbon markets, offsets, or intellectual property patents.
- Maintaining a temperature increase below 1.5°C is technically and economically feasible according to the Stockholm Environment Institute and the World Bank, but requires an immediate revolution in energy production, consumption, food systems, and transport.
- Addressing the climate crisis requires a systemic transformation to replace neoliberalism with an equitable economic system, incorporating community-managed natural systems, agroecology, and democratically controlled clean energy.
