Developing countries can reduce emissions and thrive only if economic growth is disentangled from energy-related emissions. Although possible in theory, the required energy-system transformation would impose considerable costs on developing nations. Developed countries could bear those costs fully, but policy design should avoid a possible 'climate rent curse', that is, a negative impact of financial inflows on recipients' economies. Mitigation measures could meet further resistance because of adverse distributional impacts as well as political economy reasons. Hence, drastically re-orienting development paths towards low-carbon growth in developing countries is not very realistic. Efforts should rather focus on 'feasible mitigation actions' such as fossil-fuel subsidy reform, decentralized modern energy and fuel switching in the power sector."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1038/nclimate2370"],["dc.identifier.uri","http://hdl.handle.net/2/14707"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation","SFB 990: Ökologische und sozioökonomische Funktionen tropischer Tieflandregenwald-Transformationssysteme (Sumatra, Indonesien)"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C04: Mitigating trade-offs between economic and ecological functions and services through certification"],["dc.subject.gro","sfb990_reviews"],["dc.title","Feasible mitigation actions in developing countries"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.subtype","overview_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
