If LDCs were to develop their economies to the level of EDCs, it would lead to a significant increase in global emissions of CO2. This is because, historically, economic growth has been closely tied to increased emissions, particularly from the burning of fossil fuels. Even with the use of cleaner technologies, the sheer scale of increased economic activity would likely outweigh any gains made from more efficient production methods. Therefore, it is unlikely that global emissions of CO2 would remain the same or decrease moderately, and instead, they would increase dramatically.
