ABSTRACT Structural inequality is at the heart of the struggle to prevent dangerous climate change. This makes the global climate regime a particularly interesting case, when it comes to conceptualising and assessing the role of international institutions as sites for the reproduction and transformation of macro-level inequalities that structure the international system. This article uses these interlinkages to, first, assess, in how far the debates, conflicts and doubts regarding effectiveness and justifications of affirmative action at the domestic level, introduced as a reaction to domestic structural inequality, can teach us something about the actual potential of and the obstacles to the transformation of structural inequalities through differentiation internationally. Second, it assesses whether and how institutional mechanisms of categorisation and (re-)distribution within the UNFCCC have led and are likely to lead in the future to a reinforcement or a transformation of global structural inequalities.

摘要 结构性不平等是防止危险气候变化斗争的核心。这使得全球气候制度成为一个特别有趣的案例，当涉及到概念化和评估国际机构作为构成国际体系的宏观层面不平等的再现和转变场所的作用时。本文利用这些相互联系，首先评估了作为对国内结构性不平等的反应而引入的关于国内层面平权行动有效性和正当性的辩论、冲突和怀疑，在多大程度上可以教会我们一些关于以及通过国际差异化转变结构性不平等的障碍。第二，
