International frameworks should recognize the right of nations to increase their living standards, and the common but differentiated responsibilities of developed and developing countries in mitigating the effects of climate change. For this, countries need to pursue effective mitigation at the lowest cost.
In this regard, not only unequivocal political leadership of developed countries, but also strong commitment from all countries to engage on climate change, is amongst the fundamental pillars to promote global welfare. Meanwhile, Dr. Hans Timmer emphasized that developing countries are taking center stage in the climate change issues.
