Dynamic Grouping for Climate Change Negotiation: Facilitating Cooperation and Balancing Interests through Effective Strategies
This addresses the problem of balancing interests in international climate negotiations for policymakers and stakeholders, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing negotiation protocols and frameworks.
The paper tackles the challenge of facilitating cooperation in multi-region climate negotiations by proposing a dynamic grouping negotiation model, which demonstrates a promising approach for achieving global climate objectives within the RICE-N framework.
In this paper, we propose a dynamic grouping negotiation model for climate mitigation based on real-world business and political negotiation protocols. Within the AI4GCC competition framework, we develop a three-stage process: group formation and updates, intra-group negotiation, and inter-group negotiation. Our model promotes efficient and effective cooperation between various stakeholders to achieve global climate change objectives. By implementing a group-forming method and group updating strategy, we address the complexities and imbalances in multi-region climate negotiations. Intra-group negotiations ensure that all members contribute to mitigation efforts, while inter-group negotiations use the proposal-evaluation framework to set mitigation and savings rates. We demonstrate our negotiation model within the RICE-N framework, illustrating a promising approach for facilitating international cooperation on climate change mitigation.
