What should be the world’s plan to address climate change?

This contest seeks broad, coherent visions for what the world as a whole should do about climate change. Proposals in this contest include one regional plan for each of the six regions: China, India, the United States, Europe, other developing countries, and other developed countries. You are also asked to run a simplified computer simulation model to estimate the overall greenhouse gas emission reductions that would result from the combination of the regional plans you select. You can work with the Impact Assessment Fellows to develop these estimates.  The computer simulation will also project the likely impacts of these emission reductions on global temperatures.  Proposals in this contest will be evaluated on how well they bring together regional plans to articulate a comprehensive and feasible vision for how the world can effectively address climate change.

The Solar Dollar is a currency for the people: to be issued as a reward for climate mitigation and financed by Green Quantitative Easing.
Use positive messages and small incentives to mobilize citizens and private/government organizations to combat climate change.
Plant-based diets can stop climate chaos! Even if the world went fossil free, increasing animal consumption will continue global warming.

The Integrated Water, Energy, Nutrient Nexus (iWENN) Mngmt Protocol applies Systems Design/Mngmt principles to global scale AGW mitigation.
Forest waste emits 8 times more CO2 than burning fossil fuels. Carbonize the waste to prevent more CO2 emissions than humans create.
This proposal is based on the 2 Degrees Celsius (2DS) scenario in the International Energy Agency report Energy Technology Perspectives 2015
This proposal is based on Pathways to Deep Decarbonzation, a report prepared by the Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project.
This proposal is based on emission reduction commitments (known as INDCs) made by 123 countries prior to the 2015 UN Climate talks.
Simple negotiation of a global carbon price, enforced by import tariffs. Adding cheap molten salt reactors enables rapid decarbonization.
Impartial global incentive program catalyzing the industry and entrepreneurial capacity of private markets to execute the Great Transition.
