| dc.description.abstract | The paper presents a number of ideas on how climate change policy
implementation in developing countries can be supported by alternative international
cooperation mechanisms that are based on stakeholder interests and policy
priorities including broader economic and social development issues. It includes a
brief review of current development policies, technological research and promotion
efforts, and climate change that demonstrates that mutual policy initiatives
undertaken by governments and the private sector actually have major positive
impacts on climate change without being initiated by this global policy concern.
Furthermore a number of examples are given on how future development
objectives in Brazil, China, and India jointly can support economic and social
goals and global climate change concerns if these goals are taken into consideration
and supported by international cooperative mechanisms. The paper proposes
international cooperative mechanisms that can support the implementation of
integrated development and climate change policies. The mechanisms include an
international sustainable development (SD) and Climate Finance Mechanism
(SDCFM), technology development and transition programmes, technology standards,
and other measures. | |
