The fact sheet critiques the INDC process, noting that many developed nations have submitted insufficient commitments that focus solely on mitigation while ignoring adaptation and historical responsibility. It argues that allowing countries to self-determine their contributions risks a global temperature increase of 4 to 6°C. As an alternative, it advocates for a 'fair share' system where a global carbon budget is allocated based on responsibility, capacity, and the right to sustainable societies, supporting a broader energy revolution focused on justice and community-owned renewables.

  • The current system of Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs), where governments propose their own efforts, is insufficient to limit warming to 1.5°C and could lead to a world 4 to 6°C warmer on average.
  • Many industrialized nations have limited their INDCs to emission reductions (mitigation), ignoring UNFCCC guidelines to include adaptation and failing to reflect their historical carbon responsibility.
  • The ability of developing countries to contribute to mitigation and include adaptation, loss and damage, and capacity building in their INDCs depends on the level of financial and technological support provided by wealthy nations.
  • The 'fair share' approach is proposed as a superior alternative, involving the establishment of a global carbon budget shared according to principles of responsibility, capacity, and the right to sustainable societies.
