Effective Climate Agreements under UncertaintyClimate Agreement • July 29th, 2020
Abstract: Meaningful international cooperation on climate change requires countries to overcome a social dilemma; collectively, countries are better off reducing greenhouse-gas emissions, but individually they are better off increasing their emissions. An effective climate agreement must motivate sovereign countries to both voluntarily agree to reduce their emissions and then comply with their commitments. Moreover, this must take place under a great deal of uncertainty regarding the damages from climate change. Our existing institutions designed to manage climate change have failed. Here we use experimental methods to test a climate agreement structure that, in theory, encourages meaningful participation and compliance. One of the defining features of the agreement is that it requires members to pay refundable deposits upon ratification. Our results show that this agreement structure can be successful at significantly reducing emissions. Most importantly, the agreement remains highly

Summary chapter "Industry" of the climate agreement draft proposal dated 28.06.2019Climate Agreement • July 1st, 2019
Status: The Climate Agreement was presented on Friday 28 June by the Minister of Economic Affairs as a decision on behalf of the government. It is therefore a political agreement and not a widely supported social agreement. The negotiating parties, both industry - through trade associations - and the environmental movement, will therefore not sign the agreement. The agreement can therefore be better considered as a proposal for legislation to be formulated. After the summer break, various elements of the agreement will be further elaborated in a legislative process, in which industry will also be closely involved through sector organisations.
Climate agreement at risk of subsidising logging of primary rainforestsClimate Agreement • October 7th, 2009
The post-Kyoto United Nations climate agreement currently being negotiated in Bangkok is at risk of subsidising industrial scale logging of primary forests, according to Trick or Treat?: REDD, Development and Sustainable Forest Management, a briefing paper released today by Global Witness. Without good governance and a focus on protecting intact natural forests rather than the forest industry, any climate agreement has little chance of addressing the nearly 20 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions that stem from the destruction of tropical forests.

IntroductionClimate Agreement • January 20th, 2023
On December 12, 2015, meeting in Paris under the auspices of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, 195 nations signed what has been hailed as an historic climate agreement.1 The agreement was recognized as a “turning point, that this is the moment we finally determined we would save our planet” and that the assembled nations “share a sense of urgency about this challenge and a growing realization that it is within our power to do something about it.”2 The signatories pledged to reduce carbon emissions with the intent of keeping global warming below 2˚C while pursuing the more ambitious target of limiting temperature increases to 1.5˚C from preindustrial levels. Although the short 11-page agreement does not set legally binding emissions limits, the parties committed themselves to a regime that requires them to report on the progress of their commitments every five years beginning in 2020.3

Agreement from Paris – a plan to solve the climate crisisClimate Agreement • July 19th, 2016
Climate change affects all countries on every continent. They have a negative im- pact on the economic development of countries and people’s lives, threaten the econo- mic stability and security. Counteracting them is one of the greatest challenges of the twenty-first century. Effective climate protection requires an international agreement, concerted action by all countries of the world. This article will address the issue of the climate crisis as a bioethical problem and presented the main assumptions of the clima- te agreement in Paris, which can contribute to averting the climate crisis.

With the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (Kyoto Protocol, SR 0814.011), the Swiss Confederation has committed to climate protection at an international level. At the national level, in accordance with the Swiss CO2 Law (SR 641.71), CO2 emissions stemming from the use of fossil fuels must be reduced by 10% overall compared to their 1990 level by 2010. The reduction target should primarily be achieved with measures in the fields of energy, transport, environmental and fiscal policy, as well as with voluntary measures.

The Paris Climate Deal Will Amount to Little without Strong ImplementationClimate Agreement • January 28th, 2016
The climate deal adopted in Paris on 12 December 2015 was a historic moment in global efforts against climate change. For the first time, consensus was reached among all 195 nations, members of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), with a globally-binding agreement that is supposed to present a way forward for the world to tackle climate change and its impacts. In many ways, this is an impressive achievement, a diplomatic success against the odds and a boost for the UNFCCC process which has seen numerous deadlocks and disappointments since it was first opened for signature at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992.
