{"product_id":"9781933286679","title":"Greenprint : A New Approach to Cooperation on Climate Change by Arvind Subramanian","description":"Beleaguered by mutual recrimination between rich and poor countries, squeezed by the zero-sum arithmetic of a shrinking global carbon budget, and overtaken by shifts in economic and hence bargaining power between these countries, international cooperation on climate change has floundered. Given these three factors  - which Arvind Subramanian and Aaditya Mattoo call the \"narrative,\" \"adding up,\"  and \"new world\"  problems  - the wonder is not the current impasse; it is, rather, the belief that progress might be possible at all.   In this book, the authors argue that any chance of progress must address each of these problems in a radically different way. First, the old narrative of recrimination must cede to a narrative based on recognition of common interests. Second, leaders must shift the focus away from emissions cuts to technology generation. Third, the old \"cash-for-cuts\"  approach must be abandoned for one that requires contributions from all countries calibrated in magnitude and form to their current level of development and future prospects.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56309122105717,"sku":"9781933286679","price":15.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781933286679.jpg?v=1762810536","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781933286679","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
