Climate Change and Development
By Thomas Tanner, Leo Horn-Phathanothai

Climate Change and Development provides a comprehensive

and multi-disciplinary foundation for understanding the com-

required in order to reconcile poverty reduction and climate
protection and secure sustained prosperity in the twenty first
