It explains the official mandate the Paris Agreement sets down for the global stocktake, focusing especially on its equity dimensions. The chapter explores a potential tension in the mandate between assessing 'collective progress' and 'progress in the light of equity'. It considers three desiderata for the stocktake, and argues that avoiding any serious engagement with the equity-dimensions of any individual party's Nationally Determined Contributions' will condemn the stocktake to irrelevance. The Paris Agreement developed at the 21st session of the Conference of the Parties in December 2015 included the prospect of a 'Global Stocktake' in 2023. The stocktake will assess the collective progress towards achieving the Agreement's purpose in the light of equity. These five short words constitute the strongest-ever indication that some type of formal, equity-based consideration of states' NDCs could occur.","PeriodicalId":170744,"journal":{"name":"The Implementation of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124830974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and its Kyoto Protocol, the meaning and significance of the CBDR principle was relatively clear-cut. However, differentiation between developed and developing countries is more nuanced and flexible under the Paris Agreement to the UNFCCC. This chapter analyses the implementation of the CBDR principle under the Paris Agreement through the lens of governance values. While CBDR shapes both mitigation and adaptation commitments in the Agreement, the present focus is on the interpretation of the principle in respect of legally binding mitigation obligations as this is where the principle has been most contentious. This chapter argues that the emerging framework for implementing the CBDR principle under the Paris Agreement is flexible and proceduralised, and demonstrates thin governance values through the incorporation of mechanisms for transparency and compliance, which take into account the national circumstances of individual countries.","PeriodicalId":170744,"journal":{"name":"The Implementation of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130472109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
