Abstract
- The article discusses the key issues in the Cancun climate change agreement in Mexico. The voluntary measures in the Cancun agreement will allow countries to establish their own targets and plans to reduce emissions. The offset mechanisms through forestry and land-use management included in the agreement will undermine emissions reduction pledges by expanding the market for purchasing the rights to pollute above sea levels.
