Climate change has become an international hot issues today。It is increasingly difficult for international climate negotiations to reach consensus on greenhouse gas emission reduction。Copenhagen ultimately failed to reach a legally binding agreement。Finally, the climate negotiations have evolved into a game with a set of international environmental, social, economic, political topics。Attitudes towards the negotiations on the climate can be divided into the following categories based on the differences of national interests and conditions。The UN takes a positive attitude to climate change, and strives to promote the " Kyoto Protocol "。But with the 2008 financial crisis, it became some of negative。The United States, Japan, Canada, Australia and other countries are relatively conservative on climate change。Developing countries take different attitudes to climate change due to their national conditions。Small island states and countries which are vulnerable to climate change are looking forward to a positive reduction。The oil-exporting countries hold negative attitudes to emissions considering their own interests of oil exports。And China, India, Brazil and other large developing countries prefer to have more space to develop its economy。Because of the different attitudes toward gas emission reduction, the climate negotiations are total standstill。This paper made a research on reduction strategies for supply and demand side, so as to provide the basis for effective global emissions。Game theory can explain many phenomena in life, such as international negotiations, struggles between political forces, economic activity, national or inter-enterprise negotiations, and competition for market。The common in these phenomena is competition。Struggle parties have completely different interests and goals。In order to achieve their own goals, each party will choose the most reasonable strategy for their best interests。International climate negotiations could be explained by game theory。Game theory is divided into non-cooperative game and cooperative game。In the international climate cooperation, the main game types involved in prisoner's dilemma game, boxed Pigs game, chicken game, couple game, deer hunting game and leader of an alliance game In these games, the prisoner's dilemma game has a wide range of uses, and is the most suitable for analysis of reduction strategies。This article established a prisoner's dilemma game model for reduction strategy considering different interests of the supply and demand sides。The carbon emissions trading market grew rapidly with the emergence of carbon emissions。The United Nations and the World Bank forecast that global carbon trading market will reach billions of dollars in transaction volume annually after 2012 to become the world's largest market。This market is composed by two sides of supply and demand。Typical supply-side countries are China, India, Brazil and other developing countries, Russia, Ukraine and some other Eastern European countries。Typical representative of the demand side are EU countries。the United States。Japan and other developed countries。This paper analyzed each typical country's emissions reduction strategy and studies of the focus conflict between the supply and demand reduction strategies。Conflict is mainly reflected in the financial and technical assistance:developed countries try to develop the two-track Negotiation mechanism into one so as to ask developing countries to take on the Absolute emission reduction。Developing countries adhere to the common but differentiated responsibilities to buy time for the development。This paper analyzed the combinations of various strategies and supply the best choice。...
