[Environmental Economics] Developing countries with high emissions, such as China, would receive easy-to-meet caps through 2020, granting them tradable pollution rights up to the emissions levels currently projected for them by the International Energy Agency. After 2020, each heavily industrialized developing country would be required to freeze its cap at its currently projected 2020 emissions level.

FRBSF: Regional Variation in the Potential Economic Effects of ...
[Economist's View] The geographic variability discussed here suggests the need for state and local policies in some areas, rather than purely national policies, to prepare for the potential effects of climate change. Moreover, looking beyond U.S. borders, these economic effects are likely to be more challenging for less advanced economies in Africa and Asia, due to their heavier reliance on resource-based economic activity (especially agriculture), more limited economic infrastructure, and lower incomes, all of which intensify the severity of the economic tradeoffs involved (Dell, Jones, and Olken 2008).

Global Warming: Why We're Not 100% Doomed
[A Tiny Revolution] What concerns me is not just the climate changes in and of themselves, because I think we could partially adapt to those if humans were sane. But because we're crazy, the added stress will almost certainly cause lots of conflicts and war, which will in turn diminish our ability to cooperate on a large scale, which will in turn cause more conflict, etc.

[Untitled] Climate change over the next 100 years is expected to be marked with wetter conditions in cold weather and hotter and drier conditions in the summer.

Agri. Minister rejects draft strategy for climate change
[Kaieteur News] “The numbers quoted for damage to the region due to climate issues, I am absolutely sure, do not include the numbers for damage done due to the 2005 floods”¦the strategy document fails miserably to note the regional synergies that exist between countries like Guyana, where we have the capacity to produce immense tonnages of food, provided we can combat and mitigate climate change, to the rest of the Caribbean, who lack the landmass and the agricultural infrastructure to grow their own food,” the minister stressed.
