ABSTRACT
In the aftermath of the train wreck in Copenhagen, it is very difficult to predict what a post-Kyoto treaty would look like or even if there will be an international treaty that succeeds Kyoto in 2012. However, this also means that thinking through key elements needed in a post-Kyoto treaty is important and timely. This chapter briefly presents the case for five concrete changes that would make a post-Kyoto cap-and-trade climate treaty more effective, efficient, and equitable. A brief discussion of whether or not these changes can garner political support and how the climate justice movement can play a positive role follows.
