The Financial Times posted an op-ed by Division Director Channing Arndt that argued climate change mitigation will not necessarily hamper economic growth in poorer countries. Arndt wrote if poorer countries were exempted for a period of time from having to curb emissions, not only would climate change still be constrained, but most poor- and middle-income countries would economically benefit within the next 30 years.
