FOREWORD The GTZ is supporting developing countries in implementing the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change through its Climate Protection Programme (CaPP) and other bilateral projects, all financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The CaPP focuses on country-and regionally oriented activities concerned with the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions and adaptation to the adverse effects of climate change. However, methodological issues and climate policy are also addressed in various individual CaPP-supported projects. CaPP was thus able to respond favourably to a request from the Energy Research Centre (South Africa) and the Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy (Germany) for support for a South-North dialogue project. The subject was a framework for future climate negotiations. This dialogue involved researchers from all over the world, with the majority coming from developing countries. It was the understanding of the researchers from the outset that equity needs to be fully reflected in a future climate change regime. Accordingly, the project was entitled " South-North Dialogue on Equity in the Greenhouse ". Furthermore, four broad themes were identified to reflect the equity dimension of an effective climate change regime: a) mitigation and burden-sharing b) impacts on climate change and financial transfers c) capacity to engage politically and d) intranational equity. The results of the South-North dialogue are compiled in this report. A forward-looking and challenging proposal on how to distribute commitments and responsibilities among a new set of country groups based on the equity concept is presented. We trust that the forthcoming discussion on the future climate change regime will benefit from these results. I would like to emphasise here that the GTZ and the BMZ played only a facilitating role in this project and in no way influenced the substantial outcome of the South-North dialogue. This is in line with the supporting role of German Technical Assistance in cooperation with developing countries. would like to commend the whole team for their enthusiasm and hard work throughout the project and the innovative ideas that made this remarkable outcome possible. To enable the results to be fed into the further discussion on the future climate change regime, the BMZ and GTZ are considering supporting regional workshops in Asia, Africa and Latin America in which the South-North dialogue team has a key role to play. Steve Bernow (Tellus Institute) who was part of the 'South-North Dialogue' passed away on Saturday, …
