Abstract

In this paper we discuss global climate change mitigation that builds on existing unilateral actions to deliver ever deepening emission cuts over time. A wide array of unilateral environmental measures have been documented. We discuss the rationale for such measures and argue that unilateral initiatives have the potential to generate positive spillover e¤ects both within and across countries. In a simple dynamic model of learning we show that single countries on their own may never get to the point of switching completely to low emission activities while a learning process with positive spillovers across nations is more likely to deliver a global switch to low emissions. We discuss the key features of a new global Intellectual Property (IP) regime that builds on, and strengthens, positive spillovers in unilateral initiatives and accelerates convergence to a global low emissions regime.
