在本文中，我们认为，通过利用公共和私营部门关键行为体的综合能力，有可能显著补充和改善我们对气候变化的集体反应。我们将责任、市场机制、优惠市场准入和多中心治理的概念应用于新型二氧化碳气候变化保险。将保险原则应用于气候变化的探索可以追溯到几十年前。但是，如何利用油气行业的能力来帮助避免或最小化未来的不确定成本，并在必要时，将其作为一个更广泛的制度的一部分进行大规模、跨国界的补偿，似乎还缺乏一些想法。我们提出了一种方法，在多中心治理结构中补充和结合正在进行的努力，以减少二氧化碳排放，提高全球范围内对气候变化的适应能力和补偿损失。
In this essay, we argue that it is possible to significantly complement and improve our collective response to climate change by harnessing the combined capacities of key actors across the public and private sector. We apply the concepts of liability, market mechanisms, preferential market access, and polycentric governance toward a new type of climate change insurance for CO2. The quest to apply insurance principles to climate change dates back multiple decades. But ideas for employing the industry’s ability to help avoid or minimize and, if necessary, compensate for uncertain costs in the future at scale, across national boundaries, and as part of a broader regime, seem to be lacking. We propose an approach that complements and combines ongoing efforts within a polycentric governance structure to reduce CO2 emissions, increase resilience to and compensate damages from climate change on a global scale.
