Abstract

The inherent linkages between climate and the habitability of theEarth are increasingly well recognized, and a convention could help toensure that conserving the environment and developing the economy in thefuture must go hand in hand. Due to growing environmental concern, theUnited Nations General Assembly has set into motion an internationalnegotiating process for a framework convention on climate change. One ofthe specific tasks in these negotiations is how to share the duties inreducing climate relevant gases, particularly carbon dioxide, betweenthe industrial and the developing countries. The respective proposalscould be among the most farreaching ever for socioeconomicdevelopment, indeed for global security and survival itself. While thenegotiations will be about climate and protection of the atmosphere,they could lead to fundamental changes in energy, forestry, transportand technology policies, and to future development pathways with lowgreenhouse gas emissions. Addresses some of these aspects of a climateconvention and a respective CO2agreement, the Houston Protocol.
