Description
The dominant Anthropocene discourse on climate change is being challenged on various grounds for placing a collective onus for the climate crisis on an abstract entity called humanity. The legal discourse that underlies the International climate change legal instruments continues to be Anthropocentric. This paper tries to explore if and how the principle of Common but Differentiated Responsibility (CBDR) aligns with the Anthropocene discourse. This paper further tries to study whether India has been utilising the principle of CBDR in alignment with the original object of the principle.
