FICHA INFORMATIVA AMIGOS DA TERRA INDCs vs. Parcelas Justas
Summary
The document critiques the INDC process, noting that current commitments from developed nations are inadequate and often ignore adaptation, finance, and loss and damage. It argues that allowing countries to self-determine their contributions cannot guarantee the global effort needed to limit warming to 1.5°C. Instead, it proposes a "fair shares" approach, which involves establishing a global carbon budget and dividing it among countries based on their historical responsibility, capacity, and right to a sustainable society.
Key insights
- The current system of INDCs, where countries propose their own contributions, cannot ensure that the total global effort will be sufficient to limit warming to 1.5°C.
- Developed countries have largely failed to meet the March 31, 2015 deadline for announcing INDCs, and those that have provided commitments do not reflect their historical responsibility or the scale of the climate crisis; if these levels persist, the world could warm by 4-6°C on average.
- The "fair shares" approach proposes establishing a global carbon budget—the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions allowed to keep warming below 1.5°C—and dividing it among countries based on their responsibility, capacity, and right to a sustainable society.
