Our mission here at atlantic-community.org is to end the exclusivity
of foreign policy discourse and give a voice to a new generation of
thinkers as well as to strengthen the transatlantic partnership.
Therefore, we are delighted to publish the analyses and recommendations
of six students concerning how Europe and North America can best deal with climate change throughout the
week.
Although the competition was open only to students of German universities, and German students enrolled in international universities, we would like to encourage all members to join in the debate nevertheless. Please tell us what you think of the students' analyses and policy recommendations.
Entrants were asked to engage with the following question and come up with practical policy recommendations:
"How can Europe and the United States cooperate in creating incentives for action against climate change?"

UPDATE: Thank you for all your contributions and comments on the above articles.

This contains a convergence of views from all six participants and was the result of an intensively collaborative process involving a wiki, text chat and a conference call.
This competition is sponsored by the U.S. Mission to Germany.
