In the article, we also discuss how additional studies would be required to strengthen the robustness and relevance of the results and expand them to a richer set of countries.

🔑 Key Findings Include:
➡️The Challenge of Shared Understanding: The results of the tacit coordination exercise highlights the absence of a shared understanding on fair national contributions to global climate goals between French and US citizens.

🔑 Key Findings Include:
➡️Support for Equity-Based Rules: Both a convergence toward equal per capita emissions and a reduction by an equal percentage across nations stand out. This supports the observed preference for a shared responsibility – all the more when they are worried about climate change.

🔑 Key Findings Include:
➡️A Cosmopolitan Vision: The majority of respondents in France and the USA support the idea that principles of climate justice should be settled at the international level, even when this challenges national interests.

International Climate Justice: What the People Think - Environmental and Resource Economics Are countries contributing their fair share to the Paris Agreement? The answer to this central question can rely on knowledge about existing– and potentially shared– views about fairness. Yet, current...

This results in a very rich dataset that I invite you to check! (Link: link.springer.com/article/10.1...).
Key results follow in the 🧵

We design an innovative survey, that aims at observing citizens’ attitudes toward international climate justice principles and countries’ contributions to the Paris agreement (here, one example of the depiction of two anonymous countries that is followed by a question on their ambition)

With @kervinioyann.bsky.social and @aureliemejean.bsky.social, we explore how citizens’ views can be used to refine tools that judge countries' ambitions. This study focuses on how citizens in France and the US perceive equity principles and national responsibilities under the Paris Agreement.

However, it is crucial to be able to judge the countries’ ambition: this can help strengthening the accountability of governments to citizens and courts, and fuel positive emulation between countries (figure attached is from @catclimate.bsky.social).

Are countries contributing their fair share to the Paris Agreement? In a global context where countries set their targets, there is no agreement on what a fair share would be for each one of them. Visions of equity sometimes oppose, and theoretical reasons to prefer one over the other are rare.

As 2024 concludes and 2025 brings a lot of exciting challenges and perspectives, I’m delighted to announce the publication of one of my PhD articles: "International Climate Justice: What the People Think". You can find it at the following link: link.springer.com/article/10.1...
