The article discusses climate change from a developing country perspective and suggests a win-win climate policy focused on development priorities. It argues that a middle-path approach can benefit both the environment and the economy, with climate mitigation as a part of sustainable development solutions. The concept of 'climate realists' is introduced, who see climate action as beneficial for development. The article also addresses the issue of discount rates for future problems and proposes market-based mechanisms and 'no-regret options' for climate policies.
