Equal rights to the atmosphere
 Equity is a prerequisite for any
global agreement, particularly when dealing with the pollution of a global common property
resource, such as the atmosphere. Discussions on global warming and climate change,
however, threaten to put unequal burden on the nations of the world.
The Centre for Science and Environment campaigns for equal rights as the basis for
climate negotiations, which will form a model for sharing common property resources
in future. |
