520 1 $a"This book, the companion volume to Low Carbon, High Growth: Latin American Responses to Climate Change, examines some of the major threats posed by climate change to the region's economies, societies, and biodiversity. It describes the patterns of greenhouse gas emissions in the Latin America and Caribbean region and in specific countries, finding that the future trajectory could be increases in emissions relative to other regions. Low-Carbon Development explains why it is in the region's best interest to participate actively in global efforts to reduce emissions and what type of global climate change architecture could allow the countries to make their most effect contributions. Finally, the book lays out an agenda for domestic polices and investments to help the countries adapt to climate change while reducing their emissions profiles. It will be useful to policy makers, civil society organizations and researchers working in climate change."--BOOK JACKET.
