Reviving the Principle of Supplementarity for the Market-based Mechanisms of the Paris Agreement
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The principle of supplementarity of the Kyoto Protocol required that market-based mechanisms serve as a complement to domestic mitigation efforts rather than a substantive means for a state compliance with the treaty. Despite its significance in promoting environmental integrity and prioritising direct action, this principle is absent from the legal framework of the Paris Agreement.
