This report, written jointly by Norwegian Church Aid and the Church of Sweden, argues that rich countries must bear the main responsibility for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and facilitate the development and transfer of climate friendly technology that will benefit developing countries. Increased support for developing countries that will enable them to adjust to climate change is urgently needed.
