In their article &#8220;Price carbon \u2014 I will if you will&#8221;, the researchers explain why, despite diplomatic calculated optimism, a lasting success in the fight against climate change is also unlikely to be achieved at the climate conference in Paris. To render climate negotiations successful, they recommend aiming for a common obligation first of all. Axel Ockenfels, expert for cooperation research and negotiations design, explains: &#8220;All science disciplines which address cooperation have shown that mutuality is the key to success: I cooperate, if you also cooperate\u2019. This applies to the question of who is responsible for the dish-washing in the flat share and equally to international trade- or military agreements. This is how incentives to cooperate and ultimately trust, which is essential for cooperation, develop. However, mutuality can only work with a common obligation. Unfortunately, the climate conference in Paris favors hundreds, self-defined and incomparable plans of the states; thus one creates mistrust at most.&#8221; The authors suggest that negotiations should focus on internationally binding prize targets for the emission of CO2, which would  become a focal point for national self-obligations and which would be consistent with many popular political instruments, like emissions trading and fuel tax. <br \/>\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/news\/price-carbon-i-will-if-you-will-1.18538\" target=\"_blank\">Read more<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the occasion of the forthcoming UN-climate conference in Paris, four scientists, among Axel Ockenfels and Peter Cramton, have addressed \u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-press-release","years-36","person-cramton-peter-en","person-ockenfels-axel-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c-seb.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1135","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c-seb.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c-seb.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c-seb.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c-seb.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1135"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/c-seb.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1135\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3275,"href":"https:\/\/c-seb.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1135\/revisions\/3275"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c-seb.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1135"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c-seb.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1135"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c-seb.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1135"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
