Abstract

This contribution provides an overview of the main principles discussed in the literature regarding the global allocation of climate mitigation and adaptation duties. I distinguish between historically informed and non-historically informed views. Concerning historically informed views, I highlight the main strengths and weaknesses of the PPP and different versions of the BPP. At the same time, I analyse the APP as the main example of a non-historically informed view on how to globally allocate climate duties. I explain how both kinds of principles need to accommodate justice-based and feasibility-based concerns.
