Since you are the Initiator, you can decide to make a pledge to the other players, or not.
The Pledge takes the following format:
"I pledge to contribute (insert value1) to the Climate Pot during Rounds 4, 5, and 6. However, if 3 out of the other 4 players contribute at least (insert value2), I pledge to contribute (insert value3). This pledge holds for time periods 4, 5, and 6."
Typically, (insert value3) will be larger than (insert value1). On the next page, you can decide the values for these.
For example, the European Union has made a similar pledge in the past: They pledged to reduce their emissions by 20% by 2020. However, if enough other countries made comparable emissions reductions, they would reduce their emissions by 30%.
If you decide to make a pledge, the others players will see the pledge, before making a pledge themselves. However, if you decide not to pledge, the other players will not know.
Note, these pledges are non-binding!
