关于全球气候变化的文献在很大程度上忽视了许多公共和私人行为者为减少温室气体排放而正在采取的虽小但积极的步骤。全球政策常常被认为是唯一需要的战略。重要的是要平衡对全球解决办法作为应对气候变化的唯一战略的主要关注。目前正在多个较小规模上采取积极行动，以启动减缓气候变化的进程。研究人员需要了解多中心系统的优势，在这种系统中，多个层次的企业可以相互补充。建立一个全球制度是必要的，但鼓励多中心制度的出现启动了减少温室气体排放的进程，并促使国际制度发挥作用。
The literature on global climate change has largely ignored the small but positive steps that many public and private actors are taking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A global policy is frequently posited as the only strategy needed. It is important to balance the major attention on global solutions as the only strategy for coping with climate change. Positive actions are underway at multiple, smaller scales to start the process of climate change mitigation. Researchers need to understand the strength of polycentric systems where enterprises at multiple levels may complement each other. Building a global regime is a necessity, but encouraging the emergence of a polycentric system starts the process of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and acts as a spur to international regimes to do their part.
