Document Summary
Agenda: ir forum, ipe and development, course wrap up. Climate change- there is an un negotiation on the annual set of climate change negotiations. China and us are roughly the same but china has a lot more people: producers vs. consumers (china"s emission is going up because they opened their economy. Most of china"s industry is factory and industry based. These factories are producing emission and consumer goods for the west. Another reason we have debate on how to frame the issue in the. North and the south: argument on if he doesn"t reduce then i won"t. It is hard to negotiation on public goods. Public goods are a term that is non-excludable and non-rivalries. If i can use it, i can free ride. They"re trying to distribute the cost and say you"re going to cut. It is hard to divide up and it"s a collaboration problem.
