Will Rio stick: barriers to global cooperation on CO2 abatement?

Article Abstract:

A commitment was made after the Rio Earth Summit to control levels of emissions of carbon dioxide and for developed countries to achieve a 20% cut from levels recorded in 1990 by 2005. There is concern over this impact that this could have on competitiveness and that production and wealth could be transferred to countries which are not included in this commitment. There are likely to be changes in patterns of trade and there is a need for producer taxes applied to energy which would help stabilize emissions in developing countries.
