摘要

World decision makers are looking for new solutions to traditional development issues such as economic stagnation, persistent poverty, hunger, malnutrition, and illness, as well as newer challenges like environmental degradation and globalisation. One key approach that has received growing attention is the concept of sustainable development or 'development which lasts' (WCED 1987). Following the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro and the adoption of the United Nations' Agenda 21, the goal of sustainable development has become well accepted world-wide (UN 1993). Meanwhile, the threat of global climate change poses an unprecedented challenge to humanity. While climate change is important in the long run, it is crucial to recognise that (especially for the developing countries) there are a number of other development issues that affect human welfare more immediately -such as hunger and malnutrition, poverty, health, and pressing local environmental issues. Seen from the development viewpoint, climate change vulnerability, impacts and adaptation are the main elements of the climate change problem that resonate. Development pathways also determine emission levels, and they have implications for mitigation strategies as well.
