Abstract : |
Global climate policy treats “development” as steps toward minimal near-term welfare and as a floor, however holed under regress. So poor countries are allowed a little longer to getto net zero and are the recipients of token climate mitigation aid more promised than delivered. But their concerns are otherwise disregarded. By contrast, here “development” is considered neither as minimal nor incremental but as achievement of full potential by all, over a time span of perhaps a century. Thus, as there is no inherent reason why such as Senegal or Malawi are not capable of realising the same GDP per capita as Luxembourg—proxy here for the output possibility frontier—the questions are whether 1.5° C and net zero for all by 2050 hinder realization of thatfull potential for all or render it impossible, why that matters, and what to do if so. And not just“what to do”, but “how to do it right” |
