International negotiations and agreements on climate change
Abstract
This paper analyzes the political economy of international climate change
negotiations, with emphasis on the perspectives of countries in this region. It offers
an overview of the historical and recent negotiations and agreements; explains the
relevance of key biodiversity agreements for climate change; explores the
institutional challenges that parties face in implementing their domestic mitigation
plans; and discusses the commercial aspects of climate change agreements (including carbon trading, border carbon
adjustment, carbon clubs, low-carbon product requirements, green bonds, and
carbon offset markets).
