Climate change entered the international agenda in the late 1980's. We are currently in the Fourth Act, which features the Paris Agreement. -Bodansky #wljfoulstonsiefkin

In the 30 years of the UN climate change regime, much has evolved, including our scientific understanding of climate change, technology, geopolitics, and domestic politics. However, climate negotiations remain remarkably similar. -Bodansky #wljfoulstonsiefkin

Also notable and most worrisome: the general upward curve of emissions has continued. -Bodansky #wljfoulstonsiefkin

A possible approach would be to bring a case in the International Court of Justice; however, the problem with this prescriptive model is trying to drive a very large nail with a small hammer. -Bodansky #wljfoulstonsiefkin

The Paris Agreement was a hybrid approach to attempt to achieve both the strength of participation in the Copenhagen Report and the strength of rigor of the Kyoto Report. -Bodansky #wljfoulstonsiefkin

The Paris Paradigm allows for each nation to determine type, scope, and coverage of its mitigation contribution, as well as relying on a pledge system rather than being legally binding. -Bodansky #wljfoulstonsiefkin

In the Paris Agreement, every five years will see a global stocktake to assess each nation's progress respective to their stated goals. -Bodansky #wljfoulstonsiefkin

Several elements of the climate change regime have changed; the Paris Agreement is more global, more politically salient, sees more non-state action, and has provided for a closer US-China relationship. -Bodansky #wljfoulstonsiefkin
