The world must rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions if we are to avoid dangerous climate change. But how can we do this while also facilitating a fair go for the developing world? How can we bring a sense of international equity to the climate change debate? How can a rise in prosperity in the developing world be facilitated while reducing global emissions?.

Tom Athanasiou is executive director of EcoEquity (www.ecoquity.org), a US-based climate think-tank which works closely with church, aid agencies and environment organisations on greenhouse development rights. He is the author of books and essays on poverty and the environment including 'Divided Planet: The Ecology of Rich and Poor',' Dead Heat: Global Justice and Global Warming' and the forthcoming 'Justice Within Limits: A New Deal for the Greenhouse Century'.
