This working paper, published by the Center for Sustainable Development at the Brookings Institution, explores how developing countries can drive global success and local prosperity through climate action. The paper's authors, Amar Bhattacharya, Homi Kharas, and John W. McArthur, argue that developing countries have a crucial role to play in addressing climate change and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. They suggest that these countries can do so by investing in renewable energy, improving energy efficiency, and implementing policies that promote sustainable land use and agriculture. The paper also highlights the importance of international cooperation and financial support in helping developing countries to transition to a low-carbon economy. Overall, the authors argue that climate action can bring significant economic benefits to developing countries, while also helping to mitigate the impacts of climate change on a global scale.
