This paper argues that a fundamentally new approach is needed to slow anthropogenic climate change. The current approach to international cooperation on climate change faces three problems: mutual recrimination between rich and poor countries; a limited global carbon budget; and shifts in economic and bargaining power between industrialized and developing countries. Overcoming them requires radical changes to forge a new 'Greenprint' for cooperation, including leadership from large developing countries, a focus on technology generation and early emissions cuts from industrialized countries with complementary contributions from states such as China and India.
