Abstract

With the evolution of the international context of climate regulation, the international society realized that the bipartite model of accountability adopted until then did not reflect the maxim of the “principle of common, but differentiated responsibility”. In this context, the present study analyzes how the Paris Agreement brings an innovative approach based on the institution of Nationally Determined Contributions that reflects the national circumstances of each Party. It uses exploratory and bibliographic research as methodological procedures, with consultation in printed and electronic media. Furthermore, the research is of a qualitative type, which aims to analyze the subjective aspect of the theme, seeking to investigate it from a more critical perspective. We conclude that it was necessary to change the traditional paradigm of the international climate regime for an effective inclusion of all members of international society in the context of mitigating the effects of climate change.
