simplistic logic and complex logic in relation to Kyoto Protocol and Paris Agreement

In this thesis, the writer has to start off explaining Climate Change as a wicked problem. Then the writer talks about two specific approaches our society is trying to ‘solve’ climate change. The first attempt to tackle climate change was Kyoto Protocol and currently now it is the Paris Agreement. It is important to explain these approaches towards climate change. So after explaining what the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement are – it is time to introduce simplicity and complexity thinking (logic). The writer needs to clearly define simplistic logic and complex logic, as well as differentiating simplistic approaches from elegant simplicity. Then, show how Kyoto demonstrated complexity (and, perhaps, elegant simplicity) and where they were simplistic. Demonstrate the results from these approaches in Kyoto. Finally, demonstrate how Paris Agreement improves, how it continues mediocre, and where it is worse. It is important to mention the differences between the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris agreement. Finally, discuss how to use complex thinking and avoid simplistic thinking.  It is also important to use the shortcomings from Kyoto to critique Paris. That is, you can show where they are really making smart, promising changes as well as repeating the same simplistic logics in Paris.

something for the writer to think about :
How feasible is the Paris agreement ?
-cooperation on climate change (communication)
-Rigorous processes of obtaining consensus on a very large scale
-Lofty ambitions (gold standard to strive for: perhaps they beed to be at least this is a target to aim for a better world) (stretching goals)
– Conveying messages to so many member nations and numerous cultures. Simplicity way to convey a convoluted topic.
-UN study states that we are far off track in reaching the Paris agreements. The commitments made so far by parties to the agreement represent just one third of what is needed in order to achieve it. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/feb/26/co2-emissions-nations-pledges-far-away-from-paris-target-says-un https://unfccc.int/resource/docs/2015/cop21/eng/07.pdf
-Provides an important new foundation for meaningful progress on climate change (key step toward reducing the threat of global climate change)
