Climate Governance and Development

Albrecht Ansohn And Boris Pleskovic

Description

The Berlin Workshop Series 2010 presents selected papers from meetings held September 28-30, 2008, at the eleventh annual forum co-hosted by InWEnt and the World Bank in preparation for the Bank's annual World Development Report. At the 2008 meetings, key researchers and policy makers from Europe, the United States, and developing countries met to explore the problems that climate governance poses for development, which are later examined in depth in the 'World Development Report 2010'.
This volume presents papers from the Berlin workshop sessions on climate governance and development, covering climate change as a development priority; policies and technologies for energy and development; natural resource governance for adaptation, mitigation, and development; non-state actors and climate governance; financing adaptation and mitigation in an unequal world; and changing institutions of governance for climate change.
IN THIS VOLUME:
Introduction by Aehyung Kim and Boris Pleskovic; opening remarks by Carola Donner-Reichle; keynote addresses by Rosina Bierbaum and Justin Yifu Lin; and papers by Richard J. T. Klein, Judith A. Layzer, Claudia Kemfert, Siri Eriksen, Kedziora and Zbigniew W. Kundzewicz, David Rogers, Charlotte Streck, John Scanlon and Clara Nobbe, and Hugh Compston and Ian Bailey.

The World Bank and InWEnt (Capacity Building International, Germany) hold a
Development Policy Forum each September in Berlin. This meeting, known as the
“Berlin Workshop,” provides a forum for the European research community to con-
tribute its perspectives to early discussions in preparation of the World Bank’s annual
World Development Report. The Workshop offers new ideas and distinctive perspec-
tives from outside the World Bank. Participants in the Workshop come from a range
of academic, governmental, think-tank, and policy-making institutions in Europe, the
United States, and the Russian Federation, as well as from the World Bank and the
German development institutions. Conference papers are written by the participants
and are reviewed by the editors. Participants’ affiliations identified in this volume are
as of the time of the conference, September 28–30, 2008
The planning and organization for the 2008 workshop involved a joint effort. We
extend our special thanks for the support of Justin Yifu Lin, senior vice president for
development economics and chief economist of the World Bank, and Rosina Bierbaum
and Marianne Fay, codirectors of the World Bank’s World Development Report 2010.
We wish to thank Aehyung Kim and Alexander Lotsch for their advice and sugges-
tions. We would also like to thank the conference coordinators at InWEnt, Joachim
Mueller and Katja Wehlte de Hernández, whose excellent organizational skills kept
the workshop on track. Finally, we thank the editorial staff, especially Stuart Tucker
and Mark Ingebretsen, from the Office of the Publisher.
