Summary: | Fairness and self-interest shape international climate protection negotiations and measures, without always being clearly separable. The C[O.sub.2] emissions included in international trade with Germany demonstrate which countries and regions could be particularly affected by EU protection measures based on self-interest. Fair burden-sharing between industrialised and developing countries is indispensable for global cooperation in climate protection. Only in this way can effective and economically efficient measures be implemented, which is in the interest of all states. Fairness und Eigeninteresse pragen die internationalen Verhandlungen und Massnahmen zum Klimaschutz, ohne dabei immer klar trennbar zu sein. Anhand der im internationalen Handel mit Deutschland enthaltenen C[O.sub.2]-Emissionen zeigt sich, auf welche Lander und Regionen sich im Eigeninteresse begrundete Schutzmassnahmen der EU besonders stark auswirken konnten. Dabei ist eine faire Lastenverteilung zwischen Industrie- und Entwicklungslandern fur globale Kooperation im Klimaschutz unabdingbar. Nur so konnen wirksame und okonomisch effiziente Massnahmen durchgefuhrt werden, was wiederum im Eigeninteresse aller Staaten liegt. |
