Rethinking development in a carbon-constrained world

This book aims to provide elements for discussion for those involved in development and development cooperation as practitioners, decision-makers and researchers, at a crucial moment just prior to the Copenhagen Climate Conference. The contributors include researchers from academic institutions, as well as representatives of UN organisations and NGOs. For the purposes of this book, the contributors were asked, based on their field of expertise, to examine the underlying fundamentals within a specific area in the light of climate change and to come up with suggestions -- even new "visions" -- within the context of development cooperation.
