"LAC’s Potential Contribution to Global Mitigation Efforts", co-authored with
Pablo Fajnzylber. Study arguing that it is in the best interest of Latin
America and the Caribbean should participate actively in global efforts
to mitigate climate change (it is in the best interest of the region)
and that in terms of its comparative advantages and potential to reduce
GHG emissions, the region is well placed to do so. Chapter 4 in the book
