U.S. Climate Change Diplomacy: From the Montreal Protocol to the Paris Agreement, 1981-2015
This collection focuses on two series of international negotiations that dominated U.S. climate policy during this period: the 1987 Montreal Protocol and the 2015 Paris Agreement. It is unrivaled in its scope and primary-source content, with newly declassified documents showing how each administration framed its goals for the negotiations and how they navigated the complex interplay of diplomacy and domestic policy. Included materials address negotiations in detail, assessments of other governments’ positions, briefing materials, and more. – Publisher
