============================================================

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

I move amendment No. 4:
In page 6, to delete lines 34 and 35, and in page 7, to delete lines 1 to 3 and substitute the following:
"'climate justice' means the requirement that decisions and actions taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to adapt to the effects of climate change must—
(a) support the people who are most affected by climate change but who have done the least to cause it and are the least equipped to adapt to its effects,
(b) reflect the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change commitment to 'common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capacities',
(c) safeguard the rights of the most vulnerable persons, and
(d) help to address inequality;".
