A new bottom-up approach holds better prospects for success than the cumbersome UN negotiations
The official communique from the Cancún climate change conference cannot disguise the fact that there will be no successor to the Kyoto protocol when it expires at the end of 2012. Japan, among others, has withdrawn its support for efforts simply to extend the Kyoto treaty.
This sounds like bad news, because it means that there will be no international price on carbon, and, without a market price, it is difficult to see how the reduction of carbon emissions can be efficiently organised. But appearances can be deceiving.
Even as the top-down approach to tackling climate change is breaking down, a new bottom-up approach is emerging. It holds out better prospects for success than the cumbersome United Nations negotiations.
Instead of a single price for carbon, this bottom-up approach is likely to produce a multiplicity of prices for carbon emissions. This is more appropriate to the task of reducing carbon emissions than a single price, because there is a multiplicity of sectors and methods, each of which produces a different cost curve.
The market price of anything is always equal to the marginal cost. When there is a single price, all the various cost curves are merged into one and low-cost projects enjoy large rents. This makes the cost of reducing carbon emissions much larger than it needs to be.

Not sure what is going on....A bottom up approach???
Cancun in a nutshell: nothing achieved but it’s a Big PR Success (RE: The Global Money Scam )
Market pressure? Messing with the energy supply?

Cancún agreement rescues UN credibility but falls short of saving planet
Then fork it over, George.
Me Too!
Bottom up approaches basically means violence from the left.

Agency in international climate negotiations
*************************************
Author(s): Schroeder, Heike.
This article examines the agency of indigenous peoples in designing a mechanism for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) under the emerging post-2012 agreement to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. It investigates whether indigenous peoples have agency in international negotiations and specifically the REDD design process and if so, how they have obtained it. Agency refers to the ability of actors to prescribe behaviour and to substantively participate in and/or set their own rules related to the interactions between humans and their natural environment. The aim of this study is to gain understanding of what role non-nation state actors, particularly indigenous peoples, play in shaping the REDD design process under the climate convention and what is shaping their agency. A special emphasis is placed on indigenous peoples as they may be highly vulnerable to the impacts from both climate change and certain policy responses. The article finds that, through REDD, indigenous peoples and forest community alliances are emerging in the climate regime but their agency in designing a mechanism on forest protection in a post-2012 climate regime remains indirect and weak. They are being consulted and invited to provide input, but they are not able to directly participate and ensure that their views and concerns are reflected in the outcome on REDD.

fyi
I think I was able to translate that ESG gibberish. Basically it says “we have appointed ourselves to use really poor rural people in third world countries as PR props for our agenda of sucking trillions of dollars from industrialized nations into our own pockets. We will leave them no choice but to leave the forests and jungles completely or stay there in a condition more primitive than when us evil white men first found them. But we will convince them that they did it for a good purpose.”
Well i would start with B***s,,...and add some description to that....!
Soros can donate all his money to that sinkhole, governments should leave the taxpayers alone.

George Soros has lost a fortune on climate change investments, and is desperate to recoup his money.
Countries such as Germany are giving themselves a competitive disadvantage. The coalition of the willing will get economically crushed by the coalition of the un-willing.
The general is telling you his army has been destroyed, but the good news is that a few bands of lightly armed partisans are hiding in the hills.
