I move amendment No. 13:

In page 6, to delete lines 26 to 30 and substitute the following: "'climate justice' means the requirement that decisions and actions taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to adapt to the effects of climate change must:
(a) support the people who are most affected by climate change but who have done the least to cause it and are the least equipped to adapt to its effects;

(b) help to address inequality, and support the human rights and well-being of local communities, indigenous peoples and the most vulnerable; and

(c) reflect the UNFCCC commitment to the "common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capacities;".
