International
Climate change is a global challenge and requires a global solution. In late 2007, governments adopted the Bali Roadmap, launching negotiations toward a new global climate agreement. Through analysis and dialogue, the Pew Center on Global Climate Change is working with governments and stakeholders to identify practical and effective options for the post-2012 international climate framework.
Post-2012 Climate Policy Scenarios
The Pew Center on Global Climate Change, in collaboration with the Battelle Memorial Institute, is modeling a range of post-2012 global climate policy scenarios. Interim results from this innovative modeling exercise were presented at a side event at the UN climate change talks in Bonn, Germany, in June 2008.
This initiative assesses alternative post-2012 architectures using different types of climate commitments, including absolute economy-wide emission targets, policy-based commitments, and sectoral agreements. The scenarios are not intended as “proposals” for a future framework. Rather, they are meant to illustrate a range of possible approaches in order to better understand their relative merits.
