Is the Stick a Better Option?

I think we need to keep producers much more responsible for what they're making. Amsterdam could go to zero carbon emissions in five years and that doesn't affect at all what let's say India or China do. I am curious to know how Amsterdam feels being a citizen of the world but knowing that even if you achieve your solutions across the board not just with climate and pollution but sustainability, housing, reusing, etc. What part that may play in the global march toward those sort of solutions?
