"This survey paper examines the problem of achieving global cooperation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Contributions to this problem are reviewed from non-cooperativa game theory, cooperative game theory, and implementation theory. Solutions to games players have continuous choice about how much to pollute, games players make decisions about treaty participation, and games where players make decisions about treaty ratification, are examined. The implications of linking cooperation on climate change with cooperation on other issues, such as trade, is examined. Cooperative and non-cooperative approaches to coalition formation are investigated in order to examine the behaviour of coalitions cooperating on climate change.
One way to achieve cooperation is to design a game, known as a mechanism, whose equilibrium corresponds to an optimal outcome. This paper examines some mechanisms that are based on conditional commitments, and could lead to substantial cooperation".

In the years to come, the world must meet the energy needs of a growing and developing world population while mitigating the impacts of global climate change. This policy brief seeks to establish a framework for considering the complex and evolving links between energy security and climate change, and identifies three challenges:
• the evolving and interconnected nature of energy security and climate change definitions and goals,
• the variables that contribute to an uncertain future, and
• the trade-offs and unintended consequences involved in addressing both issues.
A workable strategy must be concerned not just with how to design a future in which climate change and energy security concerns are met, but also with the pathway to get there. To guide this transition, this brief offers several guiding principles for devising energy and climate policies that are both effective and politically viable. |

Following the failure of the 2009 Copenhagen climate talks, and continuing difficulties in persuading the world’s nations to sign onto an effective new treaty to replace the Kyoto Protocol, fresh ideas are needed to explore new ways forward. This paper offers seven such ideas.

The results of CP16/CMP6 in Cancún, Mexico, held from November 29 through December 10, 2010, offer a reason to celebrate even though a post-2012 climate deal was not struck and thorny issues will remain unresolved until next year at CP17/CMP7 in Durban, South Africa. Both the UNFCCC as well as the Kyoto Protocol governing bodies adopted comprehensive, new and substantive decisions in Cancún. These make further steps toward a new legally-binding climate agreement, legitimize emission targets in the Copenhagen Accord and, most importantly, restore the diplomatic trust needed to reach consensus on a climate deal in 2011. This final achievement, perhaps more than anything else, revived the often contentious UNFCCC negotiating process among more than 190 countries.

This article sheds light on the design of the global climate change regime by drawing lessons from the literature produced by international cooperation, international institutions and other international regimes in diverse issue areas. It is argued that sound policy implications for the design of a global climate change regime require a solid understanding of how (in what ways and under what conditions) international instruments influence national governments and domestic policies.

Welcome to Trading Carbon´s Bonn Climate talks supplement by Point Carbon. While there have been UN level talks and discussions in other international fora on climate change since last December high´s level meeting, Bonn marks the half way point between Copenhagen and Cancun later this year. This supplement aims to outlinesome of the main talking points.
