Global climate protection persists on a suboptimal low level because of international free-rider incentives. Nobody can be excluded from the benefits of climate protection while the provision of protection is not free of charge. Consequently decision makers tend to rely on other agents´ protection efforts in order to spare costs for own abatement.
The discipline of economics can help to modify incentives so that free-rider incentives are alleviated and the optimal climate protection level can be approached.
