Yes, because... International Agreements should not be a police instrument
The important thing about international environmental agreements is to bring all countries on the table and discuss serious issues that have not borders.
If it is a tough and hard legally binding text not many countries even if they have signed will not ratify afterwards. Text should be progressive and open. To encourage protocols and other actions and ethical principles later on. It is the process after the declarations and agreement that matters. Protocols afterwards will put the realistc targets and mechaniss to combat the climate change.
Adaptation is the key. Each country need to take different measures according to their economical, geographical, social and political capacity.
Citizens Participation in every level of implementation is also crucial for its success.
