hat would involve capping carbon dioxide emissions, but then using these segmental policies to address particular areas of concern,

A global agreement on carbon emissions would be most effective at reducing the risks of climate change

An added benefit, Trancik notes, is that discussing segmental approaches is likely to lead to a greater understanding of where emissions reductions might come from,

which may eventually make it easier to reach an agreement on limiting carbon emissions directly. Decisions made over the next decade will have long-lasting effects on overall emissions,
