Text block: The Dutch government is not doing enough to protect the residents of Bonaire from climate change and its consequences. In addition, Bonaire's residents have been treated differently than residents of the European Netherlands without good reason. This violates the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). This follows from a ruling by the District Court of The Hague in a substantive case brought by Greenpeace against the government. The government must incorporate binding interim targets into national legislation within 18 months to reduce greenhouse gas emissions for the entire economy. The government must also have and implement a detailed plan by 2030 to make Bonaire more resilient to the effects of climate change.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
Because Eq. (2) measures relative rather than absolute loss, we do not need to scale up or down absolute damages from different points of time to arrive at normalized absolute damages as per conventional methodology. For the same reason, we do not need to adjust for inflation, since damage relative to wealth is a ratio, which is not subject to inflation distortion, as long as one divides either nominal damage by nominal wealth in year t or damage expressed in constant prices of a given year by wealth in prices of the same year.

Text: In order to achieve the long-term temperature goal set out in Article 2, Parties aim to reach global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible, recognizing that peaking will take longer for developing country Parties, and to undertake rapid reductions thereafter in accordance with best available science, so as to achieve a balance between anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases in the second half of this century, on the basis of equity, and in the context of sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty.
