This work develops a framework for evaluating the climate change options faced by each developing country, depending on their individual circumstances, and shows how they can achieve sustainable development outside the Kyoto Protocol.

The book should be useful to the professionals, governments, international organizations and environmental groups working on climate change issues, and to researchers, academics and students in economics, environmental and development studies and international affairs.
