Conditions for Greater Commitment of Developing Countries in the Mitigation of Climate Change

Leonidas Osvaldo Girardin, Director, The Environment Program - MEDA, The Bariloche Foundation and Daniel Hugo Bouille, Vice President, The Bariloche Foundation

The objective of this paper is to discuss the Latin American and Caribbean perspective on incentives, possibilities and alternatives available to those countries commonly referred to as developing countries for the enhancement of climate change mitigation actions while simultaneously contributing to their own sustainable development objectives.

Such incentives, possibilities and alternatives depend on external and internal factors and should be analyzed, not only in the context of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and international negotiations on this matter, but also with respect to Agenda 21 and the process of globalization.
