The international community has always taken multilateralism as the starting point for climate change governance. However, the setbacks of the second commitment period of the Kyoto protocol, the failure of the Copenhagen climate conference and the withdrawal of the United States from the Paris Agreement have demonstrated the twists and turns of multilateralism and the weakness of the collective action logic. The comparative advantages of minilateralism in decision-making, incentive and punishment mechanisms can help alleviate the current dilemma of climate change governance. To exert a great positive effect on multilateralism, climate change minilateralism should be led by some key carbon emitting countries such as China, the EU, the US, and India to form an axis, linking the issues on climate change in these countries or regions with international trade, investment, finance, and intellectual property rights; forming an interactive benefit exchange mechanism; and using economic and trade agreements such as FTAs as a feasible carrier to achieve hard legalization. The integration of climate change issues into the 'EU version' FTA is a model of modem climate change minilateralism. And its implementation among key carbon emitting countries will definitely exert a positive demonstration effect, which will promote the next round of multilateralism at a higher level. |
