The little green data book 2008 [1]

The Little Green Data Book 2008 is based on World Development Indicators 2008, defining, gathering, and disseminating international statistics from many people and organizations.
Each year's edition includes a Focus section which focuses on a specific issues related to development and the environment. This year the focus is on the damage from climate change and carbon dioxide emissions. As this Focus shows, global warming can have negative effects on agriculture, health, infrastructure, and other economic activities which are likely to hit developing countries the hardest. While high-income countries emit more carbon dioxide than developing countries, emissions from developing countries are growing at a faster pace. And emissions per capita in high-income countries are still five times higher than in developing countries.
