Thirteen Plus One: A Comparison of Global Climate Policy Architectures
Journal Article, Climate Policy, issue 4, volume 3
By Robert N. Stavins, Albert Pratt Professor of Business and Government; Member of the Board; Director, Harvard Project on Climate Agreements, Joseph E. Aldy, Faculty Affiliate, Harvard Project on Climate Agreements and Scott Barrett
A critical review of the Kyoto Protocol and thirteen alternative policy architectures for addressing the threat of global climate change.
October 2008
"A Portfolio System of Climate Treaties"
Discussion Paper
The current climate regime, which focuses on reducing (net) emissions, can be improved in two ways. First, by breaking up the problem, and addressing each part separately, but treating all parts as a system of agreements, new possibilities emerge for enforcement. Second, by incorporating adaptation, "geoengineering," and the risks associated with mitigation options (such as long term storage of nuclear waste and carbon dioxide) in a portfolio of agreements, more opportunities open up for risk management. A portfolio system of climate treaties would be superior to today's single-track architecture.
