Abstract

As time passes the failure of the Conference of the Parties (COP) on climate change becomes seemingly inevitable. The expectation that a major breakthrough will come from the current vested interests supporting the resource extracting, fossil-fuel driven growth economies of the world seems nothing but a fantasy. Yet this is what the document released in September 2014 called “Better Growth Better Climate: The New Climate Economy Report: The Synthesis Report” would like us to believe. Is this just another copout to help the COP out of their collective political failure?
