Abstract: Climate change cooperation has been limited by the lack of sanctioning mechanisms to deal with those who fail to abide by agreements. Research now shows that a bottom-up process, in which parties create local institutions that punish free-riders, promotes widespread cooperation as opposed to the traditional top-down approach that builds global institutions.
