Policy Oriented Exchange Networks: Was a Copenhagen Climate Treaty Possible?: Scientific Analysis Providing New Insights for Agr

—This paper presents our predictions for the outcomes of the most controversial issues at the 15th Conference of Parties (COP) Meeting in Copenhagen, December 7-15, 2009. For these predictions we used methodology that was developed at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, in collaboration with consultancy firm Decide (dutch group). Based on these insights, a completely new strategy was developed, which could have resulted in a stronger treaty and could have created interests that are better harmonized among all states for a better climate and planet. Keywords—renewable technologies; Copenhagen climate treaty; exchange networks; policy networks; collective decisionmaking
