SUMMARY:Coordinating climate policies internationally - What’s the state 
 of play? And where are we heading?
TRANSP:TRANSPARENT
UID:2021_07_05_oekologische_ordnungspolitik_gestalten_panel_2_867468
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is a global challenge that calls for internati
 onal coordination. Greenhouse gas emissions do not stop at national bord
 ers\, and a considerable share of global emissions can be put down to in
 ternational trade. Using and protecting the global commons means applyin
 g appropriate pricing and enforcement mechanisms as a way of aligning th
 e incentives of the countries most affected by climate change with those
  of the nations responsible for the bulk of global emissions.\n\nInterna
 tional treaties lack enforcement provisions\, however. Signatories to th
 e Paris Agreement and the G7/G20 Member States have formulated objective
 s\, but there are no sanctions mechanisms. Policy measures remain largel
 y voluntary. Nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and long-term po
 licy objectives make sense in principle\, but have proven insufficient t
 o achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement. In short\, while the in
 ternational community has agreed on common objectives\, there is still a
  lack of effective cooperation to achieve them. President Biden’s Leader
 s Summit on Climate\, which took place in April 2021\, reignited the deb
 ate surrounding the international coordination of climate policy.\n\nThi
 s panel\, which continues the series of events\, takes stock of internat
 ional climate action and discusses the way ahead. Key questions include 
 how much policy coordination is needed beyond the definition of common o
 bjectives\, and how much discretion is necessary in national implementat
 ion. The panellists contribute a broad range of experiences and cover th
 e viewpoints of the United States\, Europe and China\, in particular.\n\
