Context
The debate over whether developing nations should be exempt from emissions targets centers on the balance between economic growth and environmental responsibility. Developing countries often argue that they require more time and resources to transition to sustainable practices, as they face unique challenges such as poverty and limited infrastructure. This issue is increasingly urgent as global climate change impacts intensify, prompting discussions on equity and responsibility in international climate agreements.

@AdamTheofilatos ICC should review it's policies on DRS and allow many players so that countries can get competitive pricing. The Chinese could provide a much cheaper and innovative DRS. Most developing nations will struggle to implement the current DRS regime.
