As the Kyoto Protocol limps along without the participation of the
US and Australia, on-going climate negotiations are plagued by
competing national and business interests that are creating
stumbling blocks to success. Climate Change Negotiations: A Guide
to Resolving Disputes and Facilitating Multilateral Cooperation
asks how these persistent obstacles can be down-scaled, approaching
them from five professional perspectives: a top policy-maker, a
senior negotiator, a leading scientist, an international lawyer,
and a sociologist who is observing the process. The authors
identify the major problems, including great power strategies (the
EU, the US and Russia), leadership, the role of NGOs, capacity and
knowledge-building, airline industry emissions, insurance and risk
transfer instruments, problems of cost benefit analysis, the IPCC
in the post-Kyoto situation, and verification and institutional
design. A new key concept is introduced: strategic facilitation.
'Strategic facilitation' has a long time frame, a forward-looking
orientation and aims to support the overall negotiation process
rather than individual actors. This book is aimed at academics,
university students and practitioners who are directly or
indirectly engaged in the international climate negotiation as
policy makers, diplomats or experts.
