Polluter-Pays-Principle: The Cardinal Instrument for Addressing Climate Change

Abstract: This article traces the evolution of polluter-pays-principle (PPP) as an economic, ethical and legal instrument and argues that it has the potential of effecting global responsibility for adaptation and mitigation and for generating reliable funding for the purpose. However, the contradiction is that while it rests on neoliberal market principles, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change did not include the PPP as its provision though the principle of "common but differentiated responsibility based on res… Show more

However, none of these proposals were advanced and climate finance remained voluntary, depending most apparently on political expediency in the wealthy countries (Khan 2015).…”

“…There is consensus that the costs of adaptation should not only fall upon those affected by climate change (Hartzell-Nichols 2011), as those most affected tend to have contributed the least to global greenhouse gas emissions. The question of responsibility for climate change has been discussed elsewhere (Ringius et al 2002;Kanie et al 2010;Underdal and Wei 2015), also with regard to its implications for adaptation finance (Dellink et al 2009;Cui and Gui 2015;Khan 2015;Pickering et al 2015;Cui and Huang 2018).…”
