Abstract

Demands to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions will unjustly deprive developing countries of the same opportunities for industrialization already afforded the developed world. Humanitarians argue that such a limitation will inequitably deny the developing world from achieving the economic development needed to free its populations from extreme poverty. Yet choices to eradicate extreme poverty or solve the global climate change problem need not be mutually exclusive. This chapter aims to identify the limiting factors of the current CDM and to advocate for a mechanism in the post-Kyoto era that will provide improved opportunities for pursuing sustainable energy development strategies.
