Solving the global climate crisis through local partnerships and
experimentation Global climate diplomacy-from the Kyoto Protocol to
the Paris Agreement-is not working. Despite decades of sustained
negotiations by world leaders, the climate crisis continues to
worsen. The solution is within our grasp-but we will not achieve it
through top-down global treaties or grand bargains among nations.
Charles Sabel and David Victor explain why the profound
transformations needed for deep cuts in emissions must arise
locally, with government and business working together to
experiment with new technologies, quickly learn the best solutions,
and spread that information globally. Sabel and Victor show how
some of the most iconic successes in environmental policy were
products of this experimentalist approach to problem solving, such
as the Montreal Protocol on the ozone layer, the rise of electric
vehicles, and Europe's success in controlling water pollution. They
argue that the Paris Agreement is at best an umbrella under which
local experimentation can push the technological frontier and help
societies around the world learn how to deploy the technologies and
policies needed to tackle this daunting global problem. A visionary
book that fundamentally reorients our thinking about the climate
crisis, Fixing the Climate is a road map to institutional design
that can finally lead to self-sustaining reductions in emissions
that years of global diplomacy have failed to deliver.
