Given these three factorswhich Arvind Subramanian and Aaditya Mattoo call the "e;narrative,"e; "e;adding up,"e; and "e;new world"e; problemsthe wonder is not the current impasse; it is, rather, the belief that progress might be possible at all.In this book, the authors argue that any chance of progress must address each of these problems in a radically different way. First, the old narrative of recrimination must cede to a narrative based on recognition of common interests. Second, leaders must shift the focus away from emissions cuts to technology generation. Third, the old "e;cash-for-cuts"e; approach must be abandoned for one that requires contributions from all countries calibrated in magnitude and form to their current level of development and future prospects.
