  • This paper documents evidence that global climate change target can not be
    achieved only by Annex countries’ mitigation activities without Non-Annex
    countries’ effort and cooperation. I assume there are two countries and
    non-perfect competition market. In the result, an Annex country can achieve
    abatement target, but the emission of a Non-Annex country increases due to
    its “emission concentration”. So global emission target can’t be achieved. In
    other scenario, where Non-Annex country enforces a self-regulation by
    imposing emission target or invites CDM, global emission can be achieved.
    But global welfare decreases in the former case. In the last scenario, the
    mixed strategy of self-regulation and CDM, global emission target can be
    achieved and it has minimum welfare losses.
