REPORT ON 'POLITICAL ECONOMY OF BALI CLIMATE CONFERENCE: A ROADMAP OF CLIMATE COMMERCIALIZATION'

From the PRDI:

"Participatory Research and Development Initiative PRDI, Bangladesh.

PRDI, in association with the Equity and Justice Working Group Bangladesh, has published a policy discussion paper based on the key elements of UNFCCC Climate Change Conference held in Bali, Indonesia, December 2007.

This policy discussion paper critically reviewed the Bali climate negotiation; intended to provide an insight to the readers, especially developing country’s policy makers, negotiators, on the recent dimension of mitigating climate change impacts. This discussion paper tries to cancel out the concept of ‘climate commercialization’ on which Bali Climate talks eventually rounds, and justifies the urgency of the reduction of green house gases emissions that should be reflected in the post Kyoto global policy regime on climate change. It is expected that this policy discussion paper will be a useful document for the developing country policy makers, environmental NGOs, CSOs in formulation policies and positions on sustainable development in the context of the climate change negotiation."
