economic downturn and the speculation led growth of the secondary carbon market. In India‚ the recent trend is that of withholding the sale of carbon credits as the prices are low and as sellers expect demand to increase after the end of Phase I of Kyoto Protocol i.e. in 2012. The major economic implications may be the rising commodity prices in the developed countries on account of passing on of the price paid for carbon credits to the customers. Inflation in the developing countries is also one of the

Discuss the effectiveness of national and international efforts to tackle the problem of global climate change. Since the late nineteenth century‚ the view that global climate change is directly influenced by human behaviour has become increasingly accepted as scientists have provided better evidence for the relationship between the level of global carbon dioxide concentrations and global temperatures. A large number of natural phenomenon and processes are affected by climate change‚ and these in
