ABSTRACT
Much of the current climate warming debate still proceeds along the narrow lines ofconventional air pollution abatement policy. But climate stabilization is an entirely different challenge. The greenhouse effect is driven by a confluence of environmental impacts that have their source not only in the nature of human resource use, but also in the nature of the current international economic order. Climate stabilization therefore requires a comprehensive tum toward environmentally sound and socially equitable development-in short, an unprecedented North-South Compact on sustainable development.
