Overview
The Harvard Project on Climate Agreements identifies and communicates scientifically sound, economically sensible, and politically pragmatic public policy options for addressing global climate change. The Harvard Project's research focuses on policy architecture, key design elements, and institutional dimensions of international and domestic climate-change policy—and draws upon leading scholars and policy practitioners from around the world.
New Horizons in Methane-Emissions Abatement
With a growing focus on achieving sustainable progress in addressing the challenges of climate change not only over the long term but within this and the coming decades, the Harvard Project on Climate Agreements on Tuesday (Nov. 12) brought together a panel of experts on methane-emissions abatement at COP-29.
Harvard Project at COP-29
Robert Stavins, Director of the Harvard Project on Climate Agreements, and Robert Stowe, Co-Director, will attend the Twenty-Ninth Conference of the Parties (COP-29) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Baku, Azerbaijan. The Harvard Project will co-host two official side events at COP-29.
Good Spillover, Bad Spillover? Industrial Policy, Trade, and the Political Economy of Decarbonization
The window for transformative climate action is narrowing, just as its urgency is greatest. At the same time, the world is witnessing a dramatic paradigm shift in the choice of policies to address climate change, with leading national actors turning to industrial policy to advance decarbonization (as well as other policy objectives). In the process, decades of consensus on the benefits of greater trade liberalization and economic integration have largely given way to a surge in market interventions, many of which seek to actively reverse contested outcomes of globalization. Michael Mehling explores tensions and possible synergies among trade, industrial, and climate-change policy in this discussion paper.
