Darryl D’Monte continues his reportage of the Climate Action
Network International meet on in Bangkok where, he says, two
NGOs put forward blueprints that could be templates on which the
new climate treaty is based Two NGOs -- the World Wide Fund for
Nature (WWF) and a consortium led by Greenpeace -- have put
forward blueprints that could be templates on which the new
climate treaty, due to be negotiated in Copenhagen in December,
is based. WWF employs the concept of greenhouse development
rights (GDRs), which have earlier also been propagated by the
Stockholm Environment Institute and others. This August, it
released a report titled ‘Sharing the effort under a global
carbon budget’. WWF says: “A strict global carbon budget between
now and 2050 based on a fair distribution between rich and poor
nations has the potential to prevent dangerous climate change
and keep temperature rise well below 2 degrees Celsius.” The
report is based on research and shows different ways to cut
global emissions by at least 80% gl
