A good, basic summary of the dilemma facing international cooperation on climate change, but it doesn't add much to what we already know.

Insightful analysis on how the global debate about climate change rests on perceptions of fairness between developing nations and the Western world. This article points to the fact that countries like China or India think it is unfair to ask them to reduce their carbon emissions and slow down their economic development -- when the U.S. and European nations have done so much environmental damage already during their own development phases. The story cites a number of psychological studies to show that humans and monkeys alike will often act against their self-interest when they feel they are being offered an unfair deal. Fascinating and very timely observations.

a well-documented commentary using studies of the importance of fairness in our psychology as it relates in this case to paying for change in lessening climate change impact. the focus is on academic studies without examples of real-world experiences, which may offer something to counter those.

This is a look at studies of human nature, and how/why humans insist on fairness, even at great cost to themselves. Extrapolating this aspect of human psychology to explain resistance on climate change may strike some as far-fetched, but I think it explains a great deal.

I believe that this is a great publication because it is a relevant issue regarding climate change in the world and it brings to the table what other countries are doing, and how countries are working together to bring about change. Also, there are many sources cited that make this publication more factual and easier to trust because the sources and references are professional and insightful.
