Abstract

France is the first country that incorporates the precautionary principle into its constitution, via the 2004 Charter for the Environment. Based on the way the principle is formulated in the Charter,  this paper attempts to show whether such an incorporation of the principle into French Constitution should be welcome as a progressive move. In addition, the paper demonstrates how the precautionary principle has been developed and adopted in various international environmental agreements or declarations. The paper also compares the French version of the principle with the development of the precautionary principle in Indonesian environmental law. The papers shows that interpreting the precautionary principle as  risk assessment is not consistent with the intention of developing the precautionary principle, because risk assessment as currently conducted  is plagued with a technocratic approach. The practices of risk assessment have oversimplified the situation of incertitude as merely risk, and consequently, has the potential to ignore public opinion and participation in the decision making process. In this sense, the French version of the precautionary principle is not quite progressive. In contrast, one Indonesian interpretation of the precautionary principle has moved beyond the issue of risk assessment. Such an interpretation, stemming from the court rulings on the Mandalawangi case, combines the precautionary principle with strict liability, by imposing liability to those who fail to take precautionary measures against uncertain  damage.

Abstract

The opponents of the global commitment to reduce greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions seem to have shifted their arguments from the one emphasing on the issue of uncertainty to the one focusing on the economic burdens disproportionately placed on the current generation in general, and some developed countries in particular. Inevitably, the issue of equity becomes of highly importance in the recent climate policy debates. This paper attempts to analyze the implementation of equity principles, i.e. intergenerational and intragenerational equity, in the global climate policy. In doing so, it will first briefly outline some prominent economic appraisals on the impacts of climate change. Afterwards, some proposals to incorporate equity into the economic appraisals will be analyzed. Emphasizing on the concepts of equity, this paper will finally offer some recommendations for post-Kyoto negotiations.
