In the midst of human-induced global climate change, powerful
industrialized nations and rapidly industrializing nations are
still heavily dependent on fossil fuels. Even if we arrive at a
Hubbert's peak for oil extraction in the 21st century, the
availability of technologically recoverable coal and natural gas
will mean that fossil fuels continue to be burned for many years to
come, and our civilization will have to deal with the consequences
far into the future. Climate change will not discriminate between
rich and poor nations, and yet the UN-driven process of negotiating
a global climate governance regime has hit serious roadblocks. This
book takes a trans-disciplinary perspective to identify the causes
of failure in developing an international climate policy regime and
lays out a roadmap for developing a post-Kyoto (post-2012) climate
governance regime in the light of lessons learned from the Kyoto
phase. Three critical policy analytical lenses are used to evaluate
the inherent complexity of designing post-Kyoto climate policy: the
politics of scale; the politics of ideology; and the politics of
knowledge. The politics of scale lens focuses on the theme of
temporal and spatial discounting observed in human societies and
how it impacts the allocation of environmental commons and natural
resources across space and time. The politics of ideology lens
focuses on the themes of risk and uncertainty perception in
complex, pluralistic human societies. The politics of knowledge
lens focuses on the themes of knowledge and power dynamics in terms
of governance and policy designs, such as marketization of climate
governance observed in the Kyoto institutional regime.
