Climate Change Vis-A-Vis Global Governance

Climate change effects are most significant in tropical and subtropical regions, which are poor and where governance capacity is inadequate.

The targets established at Kyoto were much more the result of an agreement amongst G8 leaders trying to “out green” one another than any rigorous analysis facts. For example, in the case of carbon capture and storage, setting target dates for a certain percentage of coal-based plants in a country/region to have carbon capture and storage implemented on-site. Public goods are others can still enjoy non-rivalries a natural resource enjoyed by one person—and non-excludable it is impossible to prevent someone consuming the good7.

The Attorney General of California, for instance, has reaffirmed his state”s commitment to reducing emissions, “irrespective of what goes on in Washington”. Moreover, it should be the “bellwether, ” in cooperation with the IPCC, in notifying where emissions are going and what the likely concentrations impacts of that would be. It should also serve as the pressure point in clearly identifying what emission reductions would be expect at these different levels and report on the extent to those “targets” are being met.
