Resumen
Descripción
Current international frameworks including the Kyoto Protocol and the
recently agreed Asia Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and
Climate are examined in this paper along with their capacity to mitigate
emissions growth. The Partnership shows potential to reduce growth in
greenhouse gas emissions by stimulating the enhanced development and
uptake of cleaner, more efficient technologies. However, decoupling of
economic growth from energy consumption via the uptake of very advanced
technologies will be required if atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse
gases are to be stabilised at relatively low levels.
