But the IPCC has received considerable criticism of both its substance and process. The new IPCC leadership to be elected in October could help guide the IPCC to a clear, shared understanding of future objectives and could shape procedural reforms. We identify key opportunities for reform by addressing two related questions: Is the IPCC doing the right things?

Whereas these arguments have been mostly discussed in separate strands of literature, this article carries out a synthesis that exemplifies how policies to put a price on emissions can be conceptualized in a multi-objective framework. Despite considerable uncertainty, empirical evidence suggests that different countries may face quite different incentives for emission pricing. For instance, avoided climate damages and co-benefits of reduced air pollution appear to be the main motivation for emission pricing in China, while for the US generating public revenue dominates and for the EU all three motivations are of intermediate importance. We finally argue that such unilateral incentives could form the basis for incremental progress in international climate negotiations toward a realistic climate treaty based on national interest and differentiated emission pricing and describe how such an agreement could be put into practice.}, language = {en} } @incollection{EdenhoferFlachslandJakob, author = {Edenhofer, Ottmar and Flachsland, Christian and Jakob, Michael}, title = {The Atmosphere as a Global Commons - Challenges for International Cooperation and Governance}, series = {The Handbook on the Macroeconomics of Climate Change}, booktitle = {The Handbook on the Macroeconomics of Climate Change}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, address = {Oxford}, isbn = {978-0199856978}, pages = {260 -- 296}, language = {en} } @incollection{FlachslandLessmannEdenhofer, author = {Flachsland, Christian and Lessmann, Kai and Edenhofer, Ottmar}, title = {Climate Policy in a decentralized World}, series = {Climate Change, Justice, and Sustainability: Linking Climate and Development Policy}, booktitle = {Climate Change, Justice, and Sustainability: Linking Climate and Development Policy}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {M{\"u}nchen}, isbn = {978-9400799028}, pages = {257 -- 268}, language = {en} } @article{FlachslandBrunnerEdenhoferetal., author = {Flachsland, Christian and Brunner, Steffen and Edenhofer, Ottmar and Creutzig, Felix}, title = {Climate Policies for road transport revisited (II): Closing the policy gap with cap-and-trade}, series = {Energy Policy}, volume = {39}, journal = {Energy Policy}, number = {4}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Mexico}, issn = {1873-6777}, doi = {10.1016/j.enpol.2011.01.053}, pages = {2100 -- 2110}, language = {en} } @article{EdenhoferFlachslandBrunner, author = {Edenhofer, Ottmar and Flachsland, Christian and Brunner, Steffen}, title = {Wer besitzt die Atmosph{\"a}re?

The design of a low stabilization policy regime in the real world depends on factors that can only be partly covered by models.
