SUMMARY PRESENTATION
To open the cell, click on the arrow (bottom right corner)
Since the 2015 Paris Agreement, the approach on international climate equity has been bottom-up, with the production of voluntary contributions by Parties. The construction of a judgement on these contributions' fairness needs to result in a trade-off between legitimacy - acknowledging as many existing visions of climate equity as possible - and conclusiveness. In this exploratory study, we use survey techniques in the original perspective of empirical social choice: we observe individual judgements and values from citizens to provide insights on building a legitimate collective judgement. Both in France and in the United States, we elicit people’s adhesion to general equity principles, and judgements on illustrative theoretical cases as well as some countries’ existing contributions. We then discuss the robustness and legitimacy of our results.

QUESTIONS

Approach

Is every country taking its fare share? Use normative data (survey) from France and the US to evaluate the fair character of individual contributions.

Goals

we aim at providing insights for a legitimate collective judgement on what a country’s fair Nationally Determined Contributions should be

Solution evaluated

Policy-oriented: we provide first insights on how citizens perceive equity rules to assess the fairness of countries’ NDCs, in order to legitimize or improve some of them. This approach could then inform other situations at different scales - how to share emissions reduction among regions, sectors, businesses and improve their acceptability

Comments

It is suprising to see that France and the US citizens have relatively similar perceptions. What are your hypothesis to explain this convergence of collective judgements?

This morning we had 4 very interesting presentations on the energy for all thematic, first by Auriane Meilland who estimate how people from different countries can value or not the different public policies that could challenge climate change. For the moment, it seems that people from France and the USA, people representative of those countries, agree on a cosmopolitan policy with a shared responsibility between all countries. As pointed by Emilie Etienne, Americans and French share the same opinion, it will be really interesting to know what it will be when the questions will be asked to Chinese or Indian, as planned by Auriane Meilland.


Remarks

Paris Approach is bottom up approach
set by country itselt
Policy improve conclusiveness without mititgate ambition
solution legitimate stakeholder
Methodology: survey
randomized results
Result:
should be determinate at the international level
in both countries: all countries should tackle climate change
largest favoured principle
convergence
operational grandfathering
coordination game
No results about the share of countribution

Questions during session

Is the respondents representative of the population => treated vs non treated group
Results probably bias
It is suprising to see that France and the US citizens have relatively similar perceptions. What are your hypothesis to explain this convergence of collective judgements?
did you investigate whether there were differences by gender, age or other variables? (and not only the country of residence) ?
