Policy-Based Commitments in a Post-2012 Climate Framework

Policy-Based Commitments in a Post-2012 Climate Framework

Prepared for the Pew Center on Global Climate Change
May 2007

By:
Joanna Lewis and Elliot Diringer, Pew Center on Global Climate Change

This paper elaborates on the concept of policy-based commitments as one component of a post-2012
climate framework. As conceived here, the policy-based approach would be an avenue for developing countries
in particular to put forward national policies of their choosing as contributions to the global climate effort.
These policies could vary widely in scope and form, from economy-wide energy efficiency goals to sector-specific
standards or reforms.
