Title: The economic vulnerability of developing countries to measures by developed countries to limit their emissions of carbon dioxide

Abstract

In the context of the negotiation on the text of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (Convention) and the preparation for the first session of the Conference of Parties to the Convention (COP-1) governments considered various proposals to limit emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Certain of these proposals have included specific targets and/or timetables, such as for the stabilization or reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases, and/or measures, such as taxes on the use of fossil fuels, designed to limit emissions of carbon dioxide. The Framework Convention on Climate Change requires each Party to implement national measures to mitigate climate change, Article 4.1 (b). In addition, each developed country and other Party listed in Annex 1 is committed to {open_quotes}aim{close_quotes} at returning its emissions of greenhouse gases to their 1990 levels by the year 2000, Article 4.2(a) and (b). The Convention, however, does not obligate these Parties to reduce their emissions to any specific level by or during any specific time period.
