Abstract

Ever since the Framework Convention on Climate Change was adopted in 1992, negotiation of emission limits has been intertwined with efforts to define a threshold for “dangerous” climate change. In this chapter, I explain the logic behind this framing of the collective action problem; show why this framing has failed to limit emissions so as to avoid “dangerous” climate change; and, finally, propose an alternative framing that can be expected to achieve more collective action.
