Growing in the Greenhouse

This report by the World Resources Institute examines the concept of sustainable development policies and measures (SD-PAMs) as a way to align economic development in developing countries with the goal of limiting greenhouse gas emissions.

• The report explores the 'sustainable development policies and measures' (SD-PAMs) approach, which involves policies aligned with a host country's national sustainable development priorities that are integrated into an international climate framework to support a lower-carbon trajectory.
• The document analyzes the merits and limitations of SD-PAMs and proposes how a pledging process for these measures could function within an international policy context.
• The report provides detailed case studies on specific policy options in four developing countries: biofuels for transport in Brazil, efficient urban transport in China, rural electrification in India, and carbon capture and storage in South Africa.
