The 300-350 Show: Greenhouse Development Rights

We continue our lead in to this year's UN climate talks in Poznan with a look at a proposal that seeks to break the current deadlock and lead to a fair deal which both delivers climate safety and protects the poor. The Greenhouse Development Rights framework is supported by Christian Aid, Oxfam, Stockholm Environment Institute and the Heinrich Boll Foundation. We speak to Tom Athanasiou, Director of EcoEquity and co-author of the GDR framwork.
