Abstract
This Chapter uses the equity criteria introduced by the framework of justice to evaluate the current international regime for funding adaptation under the UNFCCC. It first carries out an analysis of the emergence of equity criteria in the relevant document of the UNFCCC highlighted in Chapter 6. Then the Chapter observes significant selected negotiations on meetings about the Adaptation Fund, and points out the effective level of distributive justice involved. Finally, the Chapter conducts critical analysis of the role of the fairness and equity criteria and of the broader aspects of justice within the international adaptation funding regime.
