讲座内容/ Abstract: 

Climate change is one of the most critical and difficult issues for sustainable development in the twenty-first century. The economic damage from climate change is tremendous, especially in Least Developed Countries (LDCs) with limited resources. The decarbonization will limit the negative impact of the climate change. This presentation will discuss the impact of climate change in LDCs and also highlight the challenges and impact of decarbonization in LDCs. In addition, this presentation will discuss the roles of international cooperation.
