The Common but Differentiated Responsibility Principle in Multilateral Environmental Agreements Regulatory and Policy Aspects: Regulatory and Policy A

By Tuula Honkonen and Philippos C. Spyropoulos

Built in to every multilateral environmental agreement is a dilemma: how to incorporate justice and fairness on the one hand and effectiveness on the other. Our immense difficulty in meeting this two-edged imperative highlights the fact that we are, at best, at an early stage in the development of international environmental ethics, and that no coherent and effective ethical system yet exists in this context. This remarkable book starts from a conviction that the principle of common but differentiated responsibility (CBDR) offers the best way forward toward the much-desired goal of sustainable development.
