Developing countries recognize the importance of their future role
in responding to the uncertainty posed by global climate change
through appropriate technical, institutional, and policy measures.
The ongoing global negotiations are now in a critical phase. A
comprehensive assessment and understanding of issues relevant to
developing countries, such as greenhouse gas emissions inventories,
contribution of developing countries to greenhouse gas emissions,
projected climate change, impacts of climate change on the
ecosystems and developing economies, mitigation opportunities, and
potential socio-economic implications for developing countries, is
necessary in order to address the emerging climate change.
This book presents the alternative perspectives of developing
countries on opportunities to benefit from the current and emerging
global negotiations, institutions, and mechanisms to address
climate change. Analyses show that the developing countries, with
appropriate policy and institutional responses, could benefit from
the global programs for mitigating the climate change. A
comprehensive and simplified guide to assist negotiators and policy
makers from developing countries, as well as researchers, is
provided.
The unique feature of this book is that it provides a
comprehensive coverage of different issues such as greenhouse gas
emissions, mitigation analysis, impacts and adaptation, policy
options, emerging global institutions and mechanisms, and
alternative perspectives of developing countries.
The book provides basic information, analysis, and
interpretation of various aspects relevant to climate change and
will be a valuable asset to researchers, negotiators, policymakers,
and environmental groups engaged in the analysis and discussion of
climate change.
