Treaty Norms and Climate Change Mitigation [Full Text] 09/11/09
UNFCCC norms tightly constrain the range of acceptable agreements for the distribution of burdens to mitigate climate change, restricting us to two viable guiding principles: the equitable distribution of responsibilities and the right to development. Both principles place much heavier mitigation burdens on industrialized countries.

Justice and the Convention on Biological Diversity [Abstract] 09/11/09
By legislating for a system of justice-in-exchange covering nonhuman biological resources in preference to a free-for-all situation, the Convention on Biological Diversity provides a small step forward in redressing the distributive justice balance.
Author(s): Doris Schroeder, Thomas Pogge

The Right to Relocation: Disappearing Island Nations and Common Ownership of the Earth [Abstract]
Risse is concerned with humanity's common ownership of the earth, which has implications for a range of global problems. In particular, it helps illuminate the moral claims to international aid of small island nations whose existence is threatened by global climate change--such as Kiribati.
Author(s): Mathias Risse
