This book considers what is needed for fairness in the decisions of the UNFCCC. It analyses several principles of procedural fairness in order to develop practical policy measures for fair decision-making in the UNFCCC. This includes measures that determine who should have a right to participate in its decisions, how these decisions should take place and what level of equality should exist between these actors. In doing so, it proposes that procedural fairness is a fundamental feature of a multilateral response to address climate change. By showing that procedural fairness is most likely to be achieved through the inclusive process of the UNFCCC, it also shows that global efforts to address climate change should continue in this forum.

Luke Tomlinson is an expert on the subject with both academic and professional experience in the field. The book is partly based on a Thesis accepted for the award of a Doctoral Degree by the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford. The author has professional experience of participating in multilateral environmental negotiations at the United Nations and experience of writing to academic standard in a research institute within the same field.
