The thin pathway for reconciling development and climate change mitigation

摘要

Public choices in global environment affairs are probably too serious to be left solely to economic analysts; but the writings and sayings of economic advisors shape the opinions of non-economists about policy issues. I have read Bert Bolin's paper with these two ideas in mind. I had indeed the chance, not only to observe him actin gas chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, but to work directly with Him in the little group he convened for the synthesis of the Second Assessment Report (SAR).
