Abstract: This paper examines some of the broader dimensions of the environment-development discourse post-Rio, and the international politics of Global Environmental Change. Differences in perspectives of the North and South are outlined, and in addition it is noted that there are also important differences within the South between different countries. Equity considerations are critical both in intra-generational and inter-generational terms, and between and within countries. A Southern agenda necessarily privileges policies which bring about poverty reduction, though this is seemingly at odds with some aspects of the GEC debate, and with the policies and actions of many multi-lateral agents, TNCs and other international institutions. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
