  Comparing developing countries under potential carbon allocation schemes

  Energy Research Centre, University of Cape Town (UCT), 2002

  Under the current climate negotiations, developing countries do not have binding commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, however this paper argues that to stabilise atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations, all countries will eventually need to be included in the effort to limit climate change. So what might this mean for developing countries?
