Agreement on Climate Change!

... among developmentalists who work on climate change, anyway. The Center for Global Development reports on a survey of 500 of them:
Most favored binding commitments now by developed countries, and commitments by 2020 by ‘advanced developing countries’ (Brazil, China, India, South Africa and others), limited use of offsets by developed countries, strict monitoring of compliance with commitments, and the use of trade measures (e.g. carbon-related tariffs) only in very narrow circumstances. Respondents from developing countries favored larger international transfers than those from developed countries, but the two groups share core ideas on how transfers should be allocated.

... Among approaches to governance, the most support went to the Climate Investment Fund model—of equal representation of developing and developed countries on the board.
