Decarbonizing Development : Smoothing the Transition and Protecting the Poor

Stabilizing climate change entails bringing net emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) to zero. CO2 stays in the atmosphere for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. As long as one emit more than captured or offset through carbon sinks (such as forests)...

CO2 stays in the atmosphere for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
