Abstract:
The Berlin Workshop Series 2010 presents selected papers from meetings held September 28-30, 2008, at the eleventh annual forum co-hosted by InWEnt and the World Bank in preparation for the Bank's annual World Development Report. At the 2008 meetings, key researchers and policy makers from Europe, the United States, and developing countries met to explore the problems that climate governance poses for development, which are later examined in depth in the 'World Development Report 2010'.This volume presents papers from the Berlin workshop sessions on climate governance and development, covering climate change as a development priority; policies and technologies for energy and development; natural resource governance for adaptation, mitigation, and development; non-state actors and climate governance; financing adaptation and mitigation in an unequal world; and changing institutions of governance for climate change.IN THIS VOLUME:Introduction by Aehyung Kim and Boris Pleskovic; opening remarks by Carola Donner-Reichle; keynote addresses by Rosina Bierbaum and Justin Yifu Lin; and papers by Richard J. T. Klein, Judith A. Layzer, Claudia Kemfert, Siri Eriksen, Kedziora and Zbigniew W. Kundzewicz, David Rogers, Charlotte Streck, John Scanlon and Clara Nobbe, and Hugh Compston and Ian Bailey.
