What is it about?
This paper explains the history of international climate change politics and law and argues that because the problem is extremely complex, incremental solutions are not enough. Instead 'triple loop' solutions are needed and it is logical that these take more time.

Why is it important?
Because this paper gives an overview of the entire process of climate change negotiations and argues that despite the fact that many see the process as unsuccessful, in fact this process allows for democratic thinking and discussions about how best to solve the climate change prog ramme.
Perspectives
Many outsiders to the climate change negotiations are frustrated by the slow progress that is made in the regime. And yet, when one considers that all countries, despite their development level are participating in the process, this is actually remarkable. Furthermore, addressing climate change calls for a complete overhaul of the way we produce and consume. It is not easy. Efforts at thus finding room for improving governance are thus very important.
