Narain says the 2015 Paris climate deal — the agreement to limit global warming to below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels — has ended up weakening commitments to equity. Since the agreement was signed, lower-income countries are also expected to start to reduce their emissions.

COP architects furious at lack of climate justice at pivotal summit
Does "ended up weakening commitments to equity" mean "ended up reducing commitments (pledges of rich countries to do more work) to equity (every country, regardless of rich or poor, does the same amount of work)"?
The last sentence of the above passage seems to prove this: " Yet these countries produce a fraction of the greenhouse gases of the big emitters, she says."
