Understanding the roles and interactions of international cooperation on domestic climate policies

摘要

Domestic policies are required for the long-term transformation to a low-carbon economy. The examples described in this Special Issue of Climate Policy illustrate the diversity of suitable approaches across sectors and countries. The experience from policy implementation across other policy fields suggests how policy indicators, policy targets and international incentive schemes can improve policy implementation - if they are carefully managed. International frameworks can offer this opportunity, by moving from project-based support schemes towards policy cooperation.rnTo ensure that the necessary portfolio of policies with climate co-benefits will be pursued, all countries should outline a low-carbon development strategy and identify the actions and policies necessary to achieve development and climate objectives. Developing countries can use low-carbon development strategies to discuss financial support, and any other assistance they may require for the implementation of specific domestic climate policies, with developed countries.
