This book approaches these blocks from five professional perspectives: a top policy-maker; a senior negotiator; a leading scientist; an international lawyer; and a sociologist who is observing the process.

As the Kyoto Protocol limps along without participation of the US and Australia, ongoing climate negotiations are plagued by competing national and business interests that are creating stumbling blocks to success. This book approaches these blocks from five professional perspectives: a top policy-maker; a senior negotiator; a leading scientist; an international lawyer; and a sociologist who is observing the process. The authors identify the major problems, including great power strategies (the EU, the US and Russia), leadership, the role of NGOs, capacity- and knowledge-building, airline industry emissions, insurance and risk transfer instruments, problems of cost-benefit analysis, the IPCC in the post-Kyoto situation, and verification and institutional design. They also identify and assess facilitation strategies to keep climate discussions moving towards international agreement and long-term success. Published with IIASA
