This paper argues that unilateral ratification of the Kyoto Protocol makes political, legal and economic sense. It explains that EU environmental ministers are on record as having pledged to undertake a unilateral commitment in case of non-ratification. The author argues that rather than chasing the chimera of US ratification, the EU should focus on alliance-building. However, to build alliances, the EU must first put aside its internal squabbles.
