2015年将是国际气候变化谈判具有里程碑意义的一年。各国政府同意在2015年于巴黎举行的《联合国气候变化框架公约》第21次缔约方大会(COP21)上通过一项关于气候变化的普遍法律协议。该协议将不晚于2020年生效。这本书的重点是全球协议的前景，如何鼓励遵守任何此类协议，以及谈判中关键参与者-美国、印度、中国和欧盟-的观点。委员会发现，各方坚定地致力于既定的联合国机构和进程，在这些机构和进程内，将寻求采取进一步商定的行动。已经有无数的地方和地区性政策在帮助减少温室气体排放和建立相互信任。然而，书中的章节也强调了潜在的不和谐领域。例如，作为《联合国气候变化框架公约》的一部分，对发展中国家“共同但有区别的责任”的不同解释可能成为谈判者的一个主要症结。当与其他问题结合在一起时，例如选择消费或生产作为缓解承诺的基础，衡量这些问题的适当时间框架和基准日期，以及是否谈判水平或强度承诺，需要克服的挑战是相当大的。作者运用了经济学、公共财政和博弈论的见解。内容：导论(亚历克斯·鲍恩、尼古拉斯·斯特恩和约翰·沃利)全球合作与理解加速气候行动(詹姆斯·赖奇和萨缪拉·巴西)美国与气候变化行动(萨缪拉·巴西和亚历克斯·鲍恩)挑战与现实：中国在德班平台谈判中的困境(王谋、连惠山和周亚民)可持续增长和气候变化：哥本哈根和经济危机后印度战略的演变(露丝·卡图穆里和达希尼·拉文德拉纳特)：欧盟需要回到绘图板上吗？(Christian Egenhofer和Monica Alessi)“绿色增长的范围”和新技术革命(Alex Bowen)避免“危险”气候变化的谈判(Scott Barrett)单边措施和减排(Shurojit Chatterji，Sayantan Ghosal，Sean Walsh和John Whalley)全球气候制度中的遵守机制：京都和后京都(Sean Walsh和John Whalley)读者：发展经济学和气候变化方面的学生和研究人员；政策制定者和决策者；对气候变化问题感兴趣的普通公众。
The year 2015 will be a landmark year for international climate change negotiations. Governments have agreed to adopt a universal legal agreement on climate change at the 21st Conference of Parties (COP21) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Paris in 2015. The agreement will come into force no later than 2020. This book focuses on the prospects for global agreement, how to encourage compliance with any such agreement and perspectives of key players in the negotiations — the United States, India, China, and the EU. It finds that there is strong commitment to the established UN institutions and processes within which the search for further agreed actions will occur. There are already a myriad of local and regional policies that are helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and build mutual confidence. However, the chapters in the book also highlight potential areas of discord. For instance, varying interpretations of the “common but differentiated responsibilities” of developing countries, agreed as part of the UNFCCC, could be a major sticking point for negotiators. When combined with other issues, such as the choice of consumption or production as the basis for mitigation commitments, the appropriate time frame and base date for their measurement and whether level or intensity commitments are to be negotiated, the challenges that need to be overcome are considerable. The authors bring to bear insights from economics, public finance and game theory.
