An analysis of the outcomes of the Paris climate talks, as well as the opportunities and challenges ahead for addressing emissions.

In the run-up to international climate talks being held in Paris, lawmakers from various countries put their chips on the table. Rather than a top down approach, each country offered its unique approach for tackling greenhouse gas emissions. In the United States, for instance, the Clean Power Plan is the cornerstone for cutting emissions from the power sector. And the Chinese government recently announced plans for a cap-and-trade program that will begin in 2017.
After the Paris talks conclude, experts from Bloomberg Intelligence and the Carnegie Endowment came together to discuss:

Governments in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania want to ensure that a U.S. military withdrawal would not leave them dangerously exposed to a Russian attack.

Tokyo would have to surmount a lot of obstacles—not least Western sanctions—if it wanted to return Russian oil imports to even modest pre-2022 volumes.

For the Middle Corridor to fulfill its promises, one of these routes must become scalable. At present, neither is.

Troubled by the growing salience of nuclear debates in East Asia, Moscow has responded in its usual way: with condemnation and threats. But by exacerbating insecurity, Russia is forcing South Korea and Japan to consider radical security options.
