INDC contre Partage équitable

This fact sheet by Friends of the Earth International critiques the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC) process for the Paris climate negotiations, arguing that voluntary national plans are insufficient to limit global warming. The document advocates for a 'fair share' approach based on a global carbon budget to ensure accountability and equity.

• Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) are proposed national plans where governments describe the efforts they are willing to deploy to combat the climate crisis. These initial offers were intended to be known by 2015 to serve as the foundation for a multilateral rules system and the Paris agreement.
• The document asserts that the INDCs submitted by the world's worst historical carbon emitters do not reflect their historical responsibility or a genuine will to address the crisis. If these insufficient commitments persist, the world is on a trajectory toward an average temperature increase of 4 to 6°C.
• Many industrialized nations have focused their INDCs solely on mitigation (emission reductions), ignoring United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) guidelines that require the inclusion of adaptation. Conversely, the contributions of developing countries are dependent on the level of financial, technological, and capacity-building support provided by wealthy nations.
• Friends of the Earth International argues that a system of voluntary contributions cannot guarantee that warming will be limited to well below 1.5°C. They propose a 'fair share' approach, which involves establishing a global carbon budget—the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions allowed to keep warming under 1.5°C—and dividing it based on each nation's responsibility, capacity, and right to sustainable societies.
