Does Climate Change Alter the Agenda for the Bottom Billion?
Abstract
Climate change will make the plight of the Bottom Billion even worse, being both an economic
development issue and now a global security concern. Paul Collier does not highlight climate change
but it is likely to impact the Bottom Billion, exacerbating the development traps in which they are
caught. This is not just a problem for the Bottom Billion, however, and as such climate change is
attracting significant attention. The climate problems of poor and marginalised groups can be
addressed only as part of a post-Kyoto, global deal on a complex international agreement, with a
balance of regulatory frameworks, technical support and assistance, market incentives and the
involvement of all players.
