The group’s report, “The Hartwell Paper,” outlines a new direction for climate policy after the collapse of last year’s attempts to negotiate a global climate deal. The authors note that 18 years of the “Kyoto Protocol approach” to international climate policy have failed to produce any discernable real-world reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases.
在去年达成全球气候协议的尝试遭遇失败之后，该研究小组所得出的研究成果《哈特维尔报告（The Hartwell Paper）》为我们指明了一条新的路径。报告指出，自《京都议定书》签订18年以来，通过这份协议的运作模式来寻求达成国际气候政策的举措并没有成功实现任何实质性的温室气体减排。
