Climate and affects the process of human civilization development, the development ofhuman civilization has become an important factor to affect the climate. Since entering the eraof industrial civilization, human activities on the climate impact of increasing breadth anddepth, especially the developed countries in the process of industrialization consume ofenergy and resources, leading to increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in theatmosphere, causing nearly50years of global warming as the main characteristics of thesignificant climate change, has had the obvious influence of natural ecosystem, to thesurvival and development of human society brings serious challenge.Global climate change problem, universality, without borders, the effects oflong-term, comprehensive, and irreversibility, and other characteristics, the correlationof ecological environment problems determines that any country can’t wishful exists in aglobal climate change, the influence of any single approach or a single action of a certaincountry, also can’t fundamentally solve the problem of climate change. Cope with thechallenge of climate change, which also cannot escape, solve the problem of climatechange, which also can’t fight alone. Humanity’s common problem, only work together totake action, is the inevitable choice of human beings to meet challenges of climate change.International climate change issues are mainly discussed refers to due to the increase ofgreenhouse gas lead to global climate warming, especially refers to the human society in theprocess of production and life, because of the extensive use of fossil fuels such as coal, oiland gas emissions of carbon dioxide gas, make the earth caused by the increasedconcentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere gradually warming phenomenon is causingthe earth’s surface temperature to rise. Therefore, dealing with climate change is the key toreduce carbon emissions. Carbon dioxide emissions is mainly caused by fossil fuels andenergy consumption, under the existing technical conditions and mode of production, toreduce emissions of carbon dioxide means that the shift of economic development and humanway of life. As carbon emissions is limit, a country is not arbitrary to emit carbon dioxide, carbon emissions rights value will be immediately apparent, people began to regard it as abasic right to strive for even fight for it. At this time, the carbon emission rights allocation isnot only the key to solve the problem of global warming, is the focal place of the countriesto maximize their self-interest.Post Kyoto era, greenhouse gas emissions space resources are increasingly scarce, howto fair distribution of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions space, is the most important of thepost-Kyoto era environmental justice demands. The irreversible effects of climate change willnot let the human have no snub and wait for action on climate change as soon as possible,the sooner the better, with higher efficiency to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, isenvironmental justice the basic demands of post-Kyoto era. Environmental justice demandspost-Kyoto era is fairness and efficiency. Post-Kyoto era reveal environmental justice of law,is to be able to achieve a fair and efficient allocation of carbon permits. Post-Kyoto era, fairis the basic requirement of distribution of carbon emissions, to achieve an equitabledistribution of carbon emission rights from the forehead is environmental justice and theassurance of post-Kyoto era.China is in a rapid economic development of developing countries, faced with poverty,economic development, and multiple pressures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Thesurvival and development is the most important issue facing China. To survive and meet thebasic human survival needs, must provide the necessary energy for the growing population,survivability emissions growth is inevitable; To development and improve people’s livingstandard,must be increased in all aspects of investment,the rapid growth of energy demandis inevitable, developing the growth of emissions is also inevitable. Quite a long period oftime in the future, China will continue to maintain rapid economic growth, energy demandwill inevitably increase, which makes China’s total greenhouse gas emissions is not onlylarge, but also a strong potential for growth. Current is not only the developed countries,even within the developing countries, calls for China at the end of the Kyoto protocol, thequantified emission reduction liability period calls for more and more high, under growingpressure in China, facing the current situation is very serious. Global climate change problem bring great challenge to China at the same time, alsobrought new development opportunities to China. Indeed, climate change and solve energyand environmental problem is also the needs of the development of China’s own, even ifthere is no international pressure, to address climate change also is comprehensive,balanced and sustainable development of China and is not open around must be careful tosolve good big problem again.Based on the concept of carbon emission rights, the system elaborated the carbonemissions as well as the advantages and disadvantages of existing patterns of distribution oforiginal, on the basis of, combined with the member states of carbon emission rightsallocation of interests, using the relevant principles of international law and rules, putsforward the concept of climate of fairness, and deeply analyzed the climate of fairness, andsummarize and prospect in the political, economic, technological and other fields to theinfluence of countries and the development trend in the future. In the internationalenvironmental protection and climate cooperation, comprehensive consideration of fairnessand the concept of sustainable development, implement the principle of common butdifferentiated responsibilities, is bound to lay a good foundation for future internationalclimate cooperation.
