Abstract

Equity and Sustainable Development are two important guiding principles of the international climate regime formed under the umbrella of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) 1992. All international legal instruments concluded under the climate regime, including the recently adopted Paris Agreement, have acknowledged these two principles as their guiding principles. Consequently, all countries or parties to the UNFCCC and Paris Agreement require integrating these two principles with their national level climate change related laws and policies. Bangladesh, as a party to the UNFCCC and all other subsequent instruments including the Paris Agreement, is also required to incorporate the principles of equity and sustainable development into its national laws and policies. This Article examines to what extent Bangladesh successfully integrated these principles with its legal and executive instruments. The Article also examines and suggests possible ways as to how the principles of equity and sustainable development can be judicially enforced by the national courts of Bangladesh.
