| | ES&T 11/97 Nations Seek "Fair Greenhouse Gas Treaty in Kyoto |
 | | As part of the Rio pact, the country leaders, recognizing the great disparity between the economies of developing and industrialized nations, agreed to "common but differential responsibilities" from the developing nations. | | | In addition to admitting that most of the greenhouse gases have been generated by sources in industrialized nations, participants at the Rio convention realized that the increase in fossil fuel use in developing nations is tied to fulfilling basic human needs, said Reid. | | | "In developing nations, they are saying, 'We didn't create the problem, and if those nations that did don't take steps to reduce their emissions, then we aren't going to play.' That is the level of debate that is going on there," said Reid. |

| | The developing nations shifted from being a source of global supply â that is, net exporters â in the 1980s to a source of global demand â that is, net importers â in the 1990s. | | | Yet, on a cumulative basis the net trade deficit of the developing nations with the industrialized countries totaled a staggering $754 billion in the 1990s. | | | With the above dynamics at work, the developing nations shifted from being a source of global supply (that is, net exporters) in the 1980s to a source of global demand (net importers) in the 1990s. |

| | [SafeClimate] Library Government and Policy A History of Climate Change Negotiations |
| | Within the G77 group, which includes the developing nations, the Latin American countries seemed to realize that agreeing to emissions limitations may work to their advantage, by bringing in additional revenue and increased investment to their economies as an active market in emissions trading is established. | | | Nevertheless, these steps forward were opposed by some powerful members of the developing country bloc, which consider it the moral duty of industrialized nations to begin by reducing their emissions at home rather than engaging in international emissions trading and pushing for limits on developing countries. | | | Key to the U.S. agreement to such a relatively ambitious target was a concurrent agreement that a system of emissions trading among industrialized countries be established, by which nations with binding limits could buy and sell among themselves the right to release greenhouse gases. |

| | Officials from the U.S. and European Union countries differed Monday on one of several "flexibility mechanisms" built into the process - the right of industrialized nations to buy pollution "credits" from developing countries. | | | Controversially, the Kyoto Protocol makes no demands on most of the countries of the world, which are defined as "developing," but include such rapidly industrializing countries as China. | | | The U.S. Department of Energy has reported that the process of reducing emissions could prompt energy-intensive industries in developed countries to relocate to developing ones, at the cost of thousands of jobs at home. |

| | Developing country - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The United Nations allows each nation to decide for itself whether it will be designated as "undeveloped" or "developing" (though many economists and other observers ignore the UN rule about self-designation). | | | The application of the term 'developing country' to all of the world's least developed countries could be considered innappropriate in the cases of a number of poor countries, due to the fact that they are not improving their economic situation as the term implies, but have experienced prolonged periods of economic decline. | | | A developing country is a country with a low income average, a relatively undeveloped infrastructure and a poor human development index when compared to the global norm. |

| | This level of expenditure is within the reach of a developing nation villager, particularly if savings in transportation cost, say substituting a voice or e–mail for a bus trip, or an increase in income, perhaps finding a better price for a product, offsets it. | | | One of the hopes for networking in developing nations is that by bringing education, health care, news, entertainment, contact with the outside, employment, etc. to rural areas, the quality of life may rise to a point where migration to crowded cities will be diminished. | | | Anyone with experience in developing nations is justifiably skeptical of government projects; however, IPTO decisions were not made by government bureaucrats, but by visionary faculty members from universities who were brought in for temporary assignments. |
