Abstract
This Pew Center on Global Climate Change Working Paper examines international sectoral agreements as one element of post-2012 climate change framework. It is part of a Pew Center series expanding on key recommendations of the Pew Center's Climate Change Dialogue at Pocantico. The paper explores different types of international sectoral approaches, the potential benefits of sectoral agreements, factors that make a sector more or less well suited for a sectoral agreement, and key design variables that must be addressed in developing international sectoral agreements.
