Forging a Climate Agreement That Works
It's time to think creatively about what to do about climate change. Here are six proposals that do.
Be Realistic
Be Realistic: Ask countries to pledge what they can with strong domestic support, then rely on public shaming to keep them on track.
Research More Flexible, Creative Solutions
Research More Flexible, Creative Solutions: Countries pledge actions, not targets, to reduce emissions, and support flexibility, research and development.
Let Countries Handle It
Let Countries Control Themselves: Allow domestic (but not international) emissions trading, and let countries set their own national limits on emissions.
Create Climate Clubs
Create ‘Climate Clubs’: Only the major-player countries need to negotiate, in small regional groups, and meeting their goals through emissions trading.
Strengthen Kyoto
Strengthen Kyoto: Expand the idea of binding, country-specific emissions targets that let developing countries “graduate” to stricter standards as their economies develop.
