Global Warming Gridlock

Creating More Effective Strategies for Protecting the Planet

by: David G. Victor

in: International Relations

Summary:

The book analyzes the failure of traditional diplomatic approaches to address global climate change and suggests a new strategy focused on coordinated national policies and smaller-scale international agreements. It emphasizes the importance of practical solutions that can be implemented effectively and the importance of engaging major emitters in a more flexible, politically realistic framework.

Key points:

1. Complex Negotiations: Victor says global warming talks are stuck because international negotiations are too complex. He thinks smaller talks with key countries might work better.
