Abtract: The science is
unequivocal: stabilizing climate change implies bringing net carbon emissions
to zero. And this must be done by 2100 if we are to keep climate change
anywhere near the 2 C. degree warming that world leaders have set as the
maximum acceptable limit. Decarbonizing Development looks at what it would take
to decarbonize the world economy by 2100 in a way that is compatible with
countries’ broader development goals. It argues that the following are needed:
Act early with an eye on the end-goal; Go beyond prices with a policy package
that triggers changes in investment patterns, technologies and behaviors; Mind
the political economy and smooth the transition for those who stand to be most
affected.
