Vancouver's Leader in Transition toward Strong, Resilient, Complete Communities
Please check out this updated and AMAZING document called "Greenhouse Development Rights Framework."
http://www.ecoequity.org/docs/TheGDRsFramework.pdf
It's based on the ideas in a book called "Dead Heat: Global Justice & Global Warming" by Tom Athanasiou & Paul Baer. This small book is only about 100 pages, short but powerful. It is BRILLIANT with rational ways to solve the global climate change problem by proposing that the "northern" industrialized nations (hat have already used more than our fair share of the fossil fuels and the atmosphere for dumping our carbon) provide the green energy technology to enable the developing countries to LEAP-FROG past the polluting carbon development that we used, directly into renewable energy and alternative fuels. Ultimately, any carbon that any country releases into the atmosphere mixes up with everyone else's emissions and adds to the climate changes that we do not need nor want.The north and south, west & east, industrialized, emerging, and developing nations must ALL work together. We need to lower total global carbon emissions while helping developing nations to develop using CLEAN & GREEN sustainable energy. Perhaps it would be best to read the small book (Dead Heat) as a primer and then to read the EcoEquity online document :GDRS Framework" next because it has refined and improved the ideas within Dead Heat.
Please download this 100 page article (it's large print) onto your computer. Then enjoy the brilliant ideas within this amazing document, the result of many years of research and brainstorming on reducing global warming while also helping the world's developing nations to develop in an environmentally and socially responsible and sustainable way. Thanks for reading!
