Climate agreements like the Paris Agreement are essential for global coordination on reducing emissions, but they often lack specificity, enforcement, and incentives for compliance. Research suggests these agreements may not reach their full potential due to political compromises that dilute their effectiveness. One way to address this could be to systematically analyze past agreements, identify design flaws, and propose evidence-based improvements for future negotiations.
The project could focus on four main areas to strengthen climate agreements:
A phased approach could make the project manageable:
A simpler starting point could be a comparative report on agreements like Kyoto and Paris, highlighting actionable lessons.
Policy makers, advocacy groups, and vulnerable nations could benefit from clearer, more enforceable agreements. Industries might also gain regulatory clarity, while NGOs could use the findings to push for stronger commitments. By combining academic rigor with practical policy design, this approach could fill a gap in current climate negotiations.
