It is one of the most tragic ironies of climate change that the ones damaging the environment the least are the ones getting affected the most. One could assume that the international negotiations on climate change would focus on global justice and historical responsibility. How the poor countries will obtain resources to enable them to take actions against climate change has been a main question since the founding of the climate convention. Based on the convention, different proposals have been presented how resources could be generated and transferred to the poor countries. Significant changes also need to be made to different parts of EU policy making, and it is important to identify an appropriate approach for the European Union for the coming international negotiations.
