The Copenhagen Prognosis: toward a safe climate future is a brief, excellent compendium of the latest climate science, environmental vital signs more generally, and options for sustainable human development. It was put together by an impressive collective of organizations – the Stockholm Environment Institute, the Energy and Resources Institute, the Potsdam Institute, and more.
GDRs is referenced as a framework for ensuring development justice alongside an aggressive emission reduction plan of action. The report shows that without low-carbon development pathways, “the developing world is deeply and justifiably concerned that an inequitable climate regime will force a choice between development and climate protection.” It’s only a shame that the report does not use the now widely accepted 350 ppm target as its basis of analysis.
