Although distributive justice would also allow for other morally relevant considerations to be considered in allocating ghg emissions that diverge from strict equality, including such considerations as historical ghg emissions levels, these other considerations can be built into a C&C framework either by negotiating the convergence dates in a C&C regime or in side - agreements on such issues as financing technologies for low - emitting nations at levels that would allow them to achieve per capita emissions limitations.
