Up in smoke? Other worlds are possible - December 2009

Working Group on Climate Change and DevelopmentThis report: Up in smoke? Other worlds are possible the sixth in the series, explores potential new models which might both address climate change and be resilient to it. Featuring several case studies from Progressio.

The first five reports revealed the comprehensive threat from global warming to human development, and the need for a collective, rapid and equally comprehensive response.

With forewords from Dr Pachauri, Chairman of the IPCC, and the world leading environmental economist Prof Herman Daly, Other Worlds are Possible includes radical economic proposals from leading economists based in developing countries that are already beginning to bear the human and economic costs of climate change. Theirs are the points of view often overlooked by commentators in rich countries.

The Up in smoke reports are published by the Working Group on Climate Change and Development, which is coordinated by nef (the new economics foundation) and IIED (the International Institute for Environment and Development).
