 [Professor Robert Stavins](https://scholar.harvard.edu/stavins/home), with co-authors Michael Mehling (MIT) and Gilbert Metcalf (Tufts), have released an article [“Linking climate policies to advance global mitigation: Joining jurisdictions can increase efficiency of mitigation”](/file_url/550) in [Science](http://science.sciencemag.org/content/359/6379/997) magazine. The article explores the benefits of – and challenges to – regional, national, and sub-national jurisdictions linking their climate policies with each other. The article is based on a recent discussion paper released by the Harvard Project on Climate Agreements (with support from the Enel Foundation) by the same authors entitled [“Linking Heterogeneous Climate Policies (Consistent with the Paris Agreement).”](https://www.belfercenter.org/publication/linking-heterogeneous-climate-policies-consistent-paris-agreement) The larger paper argues that cooperation between regions in their climate policies might lead to a significant reduction in overall emissions and also be a less costly approach to achieving their mitigation commitments – for the individual jurisdictions involved and in the aggregate.
