In light of the stalemate at Copenhagen, 2010, a ‘building blocks approach’ might yield better results thanthe search for a global deal. The ‘building blocks approach’ develops di�erent elements of climate governancein di�erent sectors and seeks to embed them in an international political framework according to Falkner, Stephan and Vogler.
What the world is doing about it: The Kyoto Protocol of 1997112,7
The Kyoto Protocol is the most well-known of all international treaties relating to climate change. This has become known as ‘the global deal strategy’, yet it has failed to have the requisite impact on climate policy across the world.
