Some tips for writing Foreign Policy

1. Find out what are issues your country is concerned about the most (e.g. USA is concerned that India & China have no targets to cut emmission of CO2, while developed nations have strict targets; so USA will base fireign policy on that issue. Small island nations worry about rising sea levels, so their foreign policy includes that issue, etc.)

2. Choose one or two issues and find out what has your country done for that. (e.g. Germany is shifting from conventional energy to renewable energy, mostly solar and wind energy for power production, which clean energy)

3. Find out what your country is planning to do for the issue in near future and upto 2020. (e.g. Tuvalu is shifting completely to clean energy by year 2020, Germany is investing more in renewable energy, Japan is investing in other countries in area of clean energy, etc.)

Relate all this to the mechanisms of Kyoto Protocol:

Emissions trading – known as “the carbon market"

Clean development mechanism (CDM)

Joint implementation (JI).
