Results of the 19th annual "Questionnaire on environmental problems and the survival of humankind: Exhibit A. Respondents' comments on "Simultaneous achievement of emission reductions and economic growth in developing countries"(Question 6)

Abstract

Emission reductions by developed countries are indispensable to protect the global environment. However, alongside those efforts, emission reductions by developing countries (especially high CO2 emitting developing countries like China and India) have surfaced as an important area to address. In order to attain this outcome, the simultaneous achievement of emissions reductions and economic growth for developing countries (especially high CO2 emitting developing countries like China and India) has become an unavoidable obstacle.
