Abstract

The concept of a "climate club" has been presented by researchers as an attempt to ensure progress in the achievement of the Paris goals through the adoption of more ambitious targets and restrictive measures, including carbon pricing, by a group of countries, preferably those responsible for a larger share of global greenhouse gas emissions. Theoretical models are virtually impossible to implement in practice, so attempts have been made to develop club configurations that take into account political, economic and institutional realities. Based on this body of work, the first concepts of clubs that can be realistically implemented are presented. They differ in terms of membership conditions, levels of policy harmonization, ambitions of goals, and ways to punish free riders. Attempts to take into account the interests of countries with different levels of development and strength of climate policy, as well as willingness to introduce new restrictive measures, lead to weakening of the institutional structure and reduction of efficiency. However, some aspects of cooperation can still be developed to ensure the reduction of emissions, harmonization of standards being one of them

“气候俱乐部”理念的转变：从理论到实践（综述）

研究人员提出了“气候俱乐部”的概念，试图通过一组国家，最好是那些对全球温室气体排放负有更大责任的国家，采取更雄心勃勃的目标和限制性措施，包括碳定价，确保在实现巴黎目标方面取得进展。理论模型几乎不可能在实践中实施，因此人们试图制定考虑政治、经济和制度现实的俱乐部配置。在此基础上，提出了可以实际实施的俱乐部的第一个概念。它们在成员条件、政策协调程度、目标雄心和惩罚搭便车者的方式方面有所不同。试图考虑具有不同发展水平和气候政策实力的国家的利益，以及采取新的限制措施的意愿，导致体制结构的削弱和效率的降低。然而，仍可以在某些方面开展合作，以确保减少排放，标准的统一就是其中之一
