* Comprehensive examination of the compliance system of the UN
Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol*
Covers development and design of the system, obstacles to its
effectiveness, the role of state and non-state parties, and the
importance of trade measures and other factors for compliance*
Contributions from leading international political scientists,
lawyers, economists, and natural scientists to this crucial aspect
of climate policyGlobal warming is the most severe environmental
challenge faced by humanity today, and the costs of responding
effectively will be high. While Russia's ratification of the Kyoto
Protocol ensures the treaty's entry into force, lack of capacity,
or incentives to renege on their commitments, will impede
mitigation efforts in many countries. An important prerequisite for
the proper functioning of the Protocol is that its compliance
system--which is spelled out by the Marrakesh Accords--proves
effective.Implementing the Climate Regime describes and analyzes
Kyoto's compliance system. Organized into four parts, Part I
describes the emergence and design of the compliance system, while
Part II analyzes various challenges to its effective
operation--such as the development of norms, verification, and the
danger that the use of punitive "consequences" may also hurt
compliant countries. Part III discusses the potential role of
external enforcement, with particular emphasis on trade sanctions.
Part IV addresses the relationship between Kyoto compliance on one
hand, and international governance, oil companies, and green NGOs
on the other.
