Article 5 (developing countries clause)

Article 5, known as the "developing countries clause," recognizes that developing nations face unique challenges in addressing climate change. It allows these countries certain flexibilities, such as receiving financial and technical support, and sometimes delaying specific commitments. The goal is to ensure their development needs are balanced with global efforts to reduce emissions. This clause promotes fairness by acknowledging differing capabilities and resources among countries, encouraging their active participation in climate action while supporting their economic growth.
