I don't think the prisoners dilemma is quite it.the prisoners dilemma is just a was to highlight how a ration person may come to make an irrational decision. collaborating is the rational decision that is beneficial to both parties but most will choose not to collaborate out of fear that the other party may benefit at their expense.
Itd be more like if one of the prisoners insisted that the prison wasn't real and even if it was, it's not worth the cost to worry about it
it is exactly the reason things like the paris climate accord won't be followed. we'd all be better off if we all committee to those regulations but everyone fears that they'll be the only one to impose the restictions hurting their own economy to the benefit of others.
