Abstract Key Note
The linkages between Climate change and sustainable development have been recognised since the drawing up of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. All subsequent major milestones of the Climate debate have endorsed this relationship and this is now finding increasing acceptance in the scientific community as well. Given the plethora of multilateral agreements, this presentation will discuss the most productive and participative ways of engaging developing countries towards climate action.
