FICHE DE SYNTHESE RECAPITULATIF SUR L'EQUITE

This fact sheet from Friends of the Earth International defines climate equity and argues that developed nations bear a historical responsibility to lead emission reductions and provide financial and technological support to developing countries to maintain a global temperature increase below 1.5°C.

• Climate equity requires that countries with the highest historical greenhouse gas emissions reduce their emissions more than others, ensuring a fair distribution of the global carbon budget. Developed nations are viewed as having a significant historical responsibility due to the "surconsommation inéquitable et historique" and the "pillage des ressources des pays en développement," which has created a substantial climate and ecological debt.
• To limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C, developed countries must drastically reduce national emissions at the source and provide developing nations with funding, skills sharing, and technology free from intellectual property rights. The document explicitly rejects carbon markets and emission reduction offsets, labeling them as "fausses solutions".
• Developing countries are urged to avoid development paths based on coal or other polluting energies and instead pursue a "transition juste" to protect their communities and environment.
• The global carbon budget should be allocated based on three criteria: responsibility (those who historically pressured the climate most), capacity (those with the greatest financial, technological, and institutional means), and the right to sustainable societies (prioritizing the poorest, most vulnerable, and future generations).
• Maintaining a temperature increase below 1.5°C is considered technically and economically feasible by the Stockholm Environment Institute and the World Bank. However, with a current increase of 0.8°C and another 0.6°C deemed inevitable, the document calls for an immediate revolution in energy production, consumption, food systems, and transport.
