The importance of equity in the 2015 agreement has broad support, but what an equitable agreement applicable to all actually means is both an unclear and controversial issue. Disagreement exists on the operationalisation and scope of equity, and on approaches for assessment of the INDCs.
To break the deadlock in the negotiations, CAN has made a detailed proposal for a dynamic Equity Reference Framework that is explicitly rooted in the Convention’s core equity principles. This side event will further articulate the proposal and provide an opportunity for discussions on how to bring this framework into the negotiations.
Party Respondents: South Africa (confirmed), Bolivia, Brazil, China, Colombia, India (requested).
