The literature nevertheless shows high agreement that other parts of the Paris Agreement do contain consequential provisions on adaptation and the operationalisation of the CBDR-RC principle. Those provisions covering financial support are arguably the most pertinent, as they replace the dichotomy between developing countries and developed countries with a trichotomy which also includes 'other Parties' . While provision of support from developed parties continues to be mandatory, these 'other parties', apparently developing country parties, are 'encouraged to provide or continue to provide such support voluntarily' . Parties themselves determine whether they belong to this category. So far, several developing countries have made contributions to the Green Climate Fund, ranging from Indonesia and Mexico to Mongolia and Panama . Expanding the donor base to these 'other parties' and breaking down the wall between donor and recipient countries marks a departure from previous practice, under which developing countries had no formal role in climate finance and support .
