Global warming is no longer denied by the so-called cornucopians （e.g. Lomberg）, but global policy-making originating in reunions of 190 governments or more stumble on collective action difficulties, spelled out in game theory. Paris will not succeed where Copenhagen failed, namely to arrive at a binding and enforceable global environment policy that will be implemented before it is too late. Instead, there will be massive transaction costs from negotiating and re-negotiating, endless voting, the making of promises exante and reneging ex post, as well as the futile attempts at any enforcement action, given state sovereignty. Mankind will have to learn how to cope with the outcomes of global warming, as resilience is the only hope.展开更多

For example, the original ecological environment has been destroyed by the development of trade and economy, so that the countries from all over the world are encountering serious environmental crisis. In this paper, the current situation under the new economic environment is introduced first, the environmental protection mechanism in the report of the WTO panel, and also comprehensive countermeasures performed in the new environmental protection mechanism are proposed. Hopefully, this paper can play a help in the further researches.展开更多
