Abstract: Change in climate and other portions of the global environment will have uneven consequences across countries and regions. These changes already may be underway, will remain highly uncertain, and will prove challenging to diagnose. The geographical separation between the sources of human driving forces and the affected areas is a potential source of international tension and conflict. Some of these changes will exacerbate existing social and economic inequities and threaten sustainable development. This article examines the major equity prob lems arising from the interaction of geographical discontinuities, uncertainty, and international development.
