"Carbon intensity" is the traditional measure of an economy's carbon performance. However, it is incapable of capturing the multidimensional features of an economy's carbon performance, particularly when increased emissions have causes other than poor emitting technology, such as changes in the energy mix or the substitution of energy for labor.
THE third meeting of the BASIC (Brazil, South Africa, India and China) ministers on climate change was held in Cape Town last month. The joint statement, released at the end of the meet, emphasised on equitable sharing of carbon space. This seems to be the core issue in climate change negotiations.
