Sometimes we need to think the unthinkable, particularly when dealing with a problem as dangerous as climate change - there is no room for dogma when considering the future habitability of our planet. It was in this spirit that I and a panel of other specialists in climate, economics and policy-making met under the aegis of the Stockholm Network thinktank to map out future scenarios for how international policy might evolve...

By Paul Domjan and Gulya Isyanova, published by the Stockholm Network on 9 June 2008. The "Step Change" scenario investigated here is based on Kyoto2, and emerges as the most successful of the three scenarios considered as judged by both effectiveness at restraining emissions, and economic benefits.

Following existing climate change policies may lead the UK and the EU to miss their declared goal of allowing no more than 3°C of temperature warming, though they may achieve their goal of reducing emissions 20% by 2020, says a report by the Stockholm Network. According to the report, only radical policy changes—such as a global cap on carbon production—would allow countries to curb emissions and stop climate change.
