On 11 November 2008 SEI’s Greenhouse Development Rights framework was presented to the European Parliament. The presentation was part of the international conference A Global Contract Based on Climate Justice.
The Greenhouse Development Rights framework provides the tools to calculate a climate change agreement that has sustainable human development in its DNA.
The framework places the climate crisis against the backdrop of an ongoing development crisis, and argues that it is unacceptable and unrealistic to expect those struggling against poverty to focus their limited resources on averting climate change.
This does not mean that the countries in which poor people live are not required to cut their emissions, but rather that the global consuming class – the elites both within these countries and in the industrialized countries – are the ones who must pay.
