Greenprint : a new approach to cooperation on climate change by Mattoo, Aaditya
Call Number: HD 75.6 .M396 2013
ISBN: 9781933286679
In this book, the authors argue that any chance of progress must address each of these problems in a radically different way. First, the old narrative of recrimination must cede to a narrative based on recognition of common interests. Second, leaders must shift the focus away from emissions cuts to technology generation. Third, the old "cash-for-cuts" approach must be abandoned for one that requires contributions from all countries calibrated in magnitude and form to their current level of development and future prospects.
