This commentary, which presents an expanded version of the keynote address at the 2012 Conference on 'Global Climate Change Without the United States', outlines Palau's role in attempting to motivate international action on climate change. It explains two initiatives: the passage of a United Nations (UN) General Assembly resolution highlighting the security implications of climate change, and the attempt to obtain an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice on the responsibility of states for climate change. The two avenues are located 'inside the system' in that they target well-established organs of the UN system. However, they are 'outside the box' because they seek to bypass and ultimately jump-start the international negotiation process that has unfolded under the auspices of the UNFCCC
