Analysis Of Low-carbon Burden-sharing Principle

Due to environmental pollution, climate upheaval and serious threat of ecological damage to human survival and development of low-carbon development model is imminent. The problem of low-carbon fair burden-sharing is the focus of the current development of low carbon and difficult. Low-carbon development in the context of responsibility and fairness is the relationship of dialectical unity. On the one hand carbon responsibility is an equitable basis, if the responsibility to leave the low-carbon, fair to speak of; the other hand, is both fair and reasonable share of responsibility for the premise of low-carbon, but also an important condition for the implementation of low carbon responsibility. As the field of ideology, ethics of science and technology within the context of the fair, a profound "social history", that is fair "is not abstract, but history and specific." The basis of fair and rooted in economic and material interests, and with politics, culture, customs, habits, laws and traditions are closely related.It is because of the material and the interests of fairness, different countries and regions share responsibility for low-carbon, have different attitudes and perceptions, that is, the recognition of its standards of fair size are inconsistent. Developed countries, developing countries and in the harsh environment of the source of the material interests of poor countries despite the areas of agreement, but in reality the performance is more there is a big difference. Therefore, the attitude of responsibility for their carbon will inevitably be different. To make a reasonable share of responsibility for low-carbon, can learn the principles of justice that Rawls's principles of equality, equality of opportunity principle and the difference principle to share responsibility for low-carbon, carbon reflects the fairness of burden-sharing. However, due to the special responsibility of low-carbon, low carbon burden-sharing principles of fairness and justice principles of fairness and justice and Rawls was significantly different. First, the order of application of the principle is different from the principles of justice Rawls that follow a strict order of application, namely, the principle of equal priority to the principle of equal opportunity and the difference in principle, the principle of equal opportunity principles and priority differences; and fair burden-sharing low-carbon Sort By contrast the principles of justice. Second, the relationship with the traditional concept of efficiency are different. Rawls's principles of fairness and justice in the methodology of the fairness of the traditional concept of efficiency has been improved, while the carbon burden-sharing principles of fairness and justice assigns the traditional view of new eco-efficient fair meaning, that is, the efficiency of the traditional concept of content was improved. Carbon burden-sharing principle of equal opportunity, the right to development is the fundamental principle of equality of opportunity, the right to life is the primary principle of equal opportunity. Carbon burden-sharing principle of equality and difference on the surface contradictory, but in the context of the logical consistency. Equality is dynamic in nature on the other, form or way to achieve different principle. The principle of equality and difference in the use of public natural resources must equal rights and the moral responsibility of States to take a low-carbon on the basis of equality, emphasizing the rights of different corresponding obligations on the other, different income or different on the other the corresponding fault responsibility, namely the developed countries to shoulder more responsibility is taken for granted.Despite the draw and fix the principle of justice Rawls to share the responsibility to reflect the fairness of low-carbon, but the face of low-carbon and fair burden-sharing dilemma, when caught in a dilemma: First, low-carbon emission reduction measure standards on fair scale differences: the national per capita greenhouse gas emission targets and indicators of the national total emissions. Second, the scale of carbon emission reduction differences between a fair way, the "gradual" reduction and "aggressive style" reduction of the differences. The third is the most fatal point that a fair burden-sharing on carbon emissions if the premise of the existing differences. Therefore, a need to introduce a third principle, that the principle of public interest first, emphasis on "individual and public interests under the dialectical unity between the priority of public interests." Either from the traditional Chinese values, or the authority of scholars from the West Bodenheimer, Hayek, and Hume, who shared responsibility for public interests of fairness and justice embodied in the classic exposition of the principle of public interest can be that of shared responsibility to solve the carbon Fair Second, the basic principles of difficult issues.So learn from and fix the principle of justice Rawls principle of giving priority to public interests and the sharing of low carbon responsibility, not only of fairness in justice and fairness to solve real Dilemma, but also new theoretical perspective is essentially a strong supports our commitment to China advocates "common differentiated responsibilities" principle.
