"This year, five years after the Paris Agreement, countries will come together and look ahead to reducing their carbon emissions. While the focus on curbing future emissions is essential if the world is to avoid the worse impacts of climate change, the responsibility of countries for climate damage to date is also relevant to setting their future commitments equitably, including on finance. So, how should we value those historic emissions and how does this compare to promised levels of climate finance?"
