The Greenhouse Development Rights Framework
Right to development in times of climate crisis
An emergency climate program is needed, yet such a program is only possible if the international climate policy impasse is broken, and this impasse arises from the inherent − but surmountable − conflict between the climate crisis and the development crisis. The best way to break this impasse is by expanding the climate protection agenda to include the protection of developmental equity. To that end, the Greenhouse Development Rights (GDRs) framework is designed. Paul Baer, Tom Athanasiou and Sivan Kartha introduce to their GDRs framework and indicative quantification of its implications.

Quality of Aid: It's the Donors, Stupid!

International aid is necessary for the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Just increasing aid, however, is of limited relevance, if it is not used effectively. A lot of ODA is not spent well because of donor practices - not because of recipient's corruption or incompetence.

After the Collapse of Doha: Analyzing the Failure

The saga has been ongoing since November 2001, when the current round of negotiations was launched in Doha, Qatar, with numerous subsequent ups and downs, near-collapses, and extensions. The latest round of talks in Geneva has once again failed to produce an agreement. A compilation of controversial analyses

African Despotism and European Double Standards

Is there anything unusual about the events in question? An African despot, a good deal of bloodshed - at least 80 dead, 10,000 injured, 200,000 displaced -, a rigged election, a concentrated effort to dilute international interest which is very little in the first place - that list contains nothing out of the usual or expected, does it?

Global Slowdown: The LCDs' Sword of Damocles

The world´s 50 poorest nations saw the values of their exports climb by a collective 80% from 2004-2006 and recorded their highest rates of economic growth in 30 years. But their increased dependence on selling a few unsophisticated products leaves them vulnerable to a reversal, this year’s LDC report of UNCTAD warns.

The new century started with streamlining initiatives from the IMF and the World Bank to their conditionality, but these have not managed to deliver real change. The arguments have not changed over the last years, and opponents have become firmly entrenched in their positions. The machinery, however, seem to be coming slowly to life after the impasse.
