Die Nutzung globaler Gemeinschaftsgüter: Politökonomische Herausforderungen an die Klimapolitik

Abstract

Um ein ambitioniertes Klimaschutzziel zu erreichen, muss die Nutzung der Atmosphäre als globales Gemeinschaftsgut begrenzt und die Nutzungsrechte neu verteilt werden. Dies hat weitreichenden Folgen: Zum einen werden die Besitzer fossiler Ressourcen einen großen Teil ihrer Ressourcenrente verlieren. Zum anderen wird die Klimapolitik zu weiteren Konflikten in den internationalen Verhandlungen führen. Denn obwohl Emissionsreduktionen für alle Länder vorteilhaft wären, haben die Staaten einen starken Anreiz, als Trittbrettfahrer aufzutreten. Da weder eine Weltregierung noch eine entsprechend enge Koordination nationaler Politiken existiert, müssen unilaterale Initiativen und Abkommen zwischen Nationalstaaten und subnationalen politischen Initiativen implementiert werden, mit denen sich das Kooperationsproblem anreizkompatibel überwinden lässt.
