ABSTRACT
The disproportionate vulnerability of developing countries to climate change, the appropriate responsibility for both developing countries and those with high emissions in moderating and adapting to these impacts, and the appropriate role of developing nations in limiting future emissions are all highly contentious issues in global politics. As such, these issues tend to lead to protracted meetings and delays in any nation undertaking any sort of measures. Only by understanding and coming to agreement on these vulnerabilities, their causes and what actions need to be taken will international negotiations be able to move forward.
