SUMMARY:Architectures for Agreement: Addressing Global Climate Change in the Post-Kyoto World
DESCRIPTION:<p>BY INVITATION ONLY<br><br>Economists and other scholars — particularly from the United States — have been critical of the Kyoto Protocol, noting that because of its specific deficiencies it will be ineffective for the problem, and relatively costly for the little it accomplishes. Some others have been more supportive of the Protocol, noting that it is essentially the "only game in town." Both sides agree, however, that whether this first step is good or bad, a second step is required. Given the global commons nature of the climate change problem, a central element of that second step will most likely be an international agreement. The basic shape and structure of that agreement — its architecture — is the focus of the workshop and subsequent book.<br><br>"<a href="http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2006/05.18/09-kyoto.html" data-url="http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2006/05.18/09-kyoto.html">Workshop focuses on next steps after Kyoto Protocol</a>," <em>Harvard University Gazette</em>, May 18, 2006.
