Hemaadri SR

This paper endeavours to question the politicisation of ethical responsibility and its subsequent neglect so as to favour the interests of developed nations. The paper sets forth a critical overview of the Paris agreement initiating with discussion of different theories on climate change, and then move on to analyse the pros and cons of the Paris agreement. Finally, it provides a reflection on India’s stand and intentions in climate change agreement. The paper would conclude by arguing that ethical framework must run parallel with the analysis of underlying structures that trigger actions and international agreements.
