Olmstead, Sheila M., and Stavins, Robert N. 2009. An Expanded Three-Part Architecture for Post-2012 International Climate Policy. HKS Faculty Research Working Paper Series RWP09-036, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University.Abstract
We describe the major features of a post-2012 international global climate policy architecture with three essential elements: a means to ensure that key industrialized and developing nations are involved in differentiated but meaningful ways; an emphasis on an extended time path of targets; and inclusion of flexible market-based policy instruments to keep costs down and facilitate international equity. This architecture is consistent with fundamental aspects of the science, economics, and politics of global climate change; addresses specific shortcomings of the Kyoto Protocol; and builds upon the foundation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.Terms of Use
