The global climate crisis is worsening despite decades of international negotiations, indicating that top-down treaties are insufficient. The solution lies in local partnerships and experimentation, where government and business collaborate to innovate and share effective technologies. Charles Sabel and David Victor illustrate how successful environmental policies, such as the Montreal Protocol and the rise of electric vehicles, emerged from this experimentalist approach. They argue that while the Paris Agreement serves as a framework, real progress will come from local initiatives that push technological boundaries and facilitate the deployment of effective solutions. This perspective reorients our understanding of the climate crisis and offers a roadmap for institutional designs that can achieve the self-sustaining emission reductions that global diplomacy has failed to deliver.
