Summary
This 2020 policy paper by David M. Hart, published by the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, examines how deliberate legislative design can overcome partisan divisions to advance climate technology development and deployment. The work identifies political impediments to climate policy action and advocates for a focused, technology-centred legislative strategy as a means to achieve emissions reductions. As suggested by the title and source, the paper prioritises pragmatic policy mechanisms over idealised environmental approaches.
UK applicability
The paper's focus on United States legislative processes and political dynamics has limited direct applicability to UK governance structures, though the underlying argument for technology-centred climate policy may inform UK climate technology and innovation strategy discussions.
