"Sweet's history provides a balanced account of what has happened
in climate negotiations. It spreads the blame evenly and ends on a
hopeful tone about the expectations of the future. A good read for
those who want a quick understanding."— Joyeeta Gupta, author of
The History of Global Climate Governance

"An incisive review of climate diplomacy from Rio to Paris.
Even the most experienced observers of the process will learn
something new from this comprehensive account of the key moments,
issues, players, and negotiating dynamics." —Alden Meyer, Director
of Strategy and Policy, Union of Concerned Scientists

“William Sweet has written an excellent and very current book, as
he carries the discussion of global climate diplomacy all the way
to the 2015 Paris meeting.”—Venkat Lakshmi, Cox Visiting Professor
of Earth Sciences, Stanford University
*Venkat Lakshmi*
“Showing his strength as a reporter, Sweet explains very well that
the policy process is not always rational or straight-forward.
Outlining both the chronology of global climate policy and the cast
of characters, this book shows climate diplomacy is based on logic,
science, and personalities.”—Chadwick Dearing Oliver, Yale School
of Forestry and Environmental Studies
