Climate Change Policies and Global Cooperation: Assessing the Role of International Organizations in Germany

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the climate change policies and global cooperation: assessing the role of international organizations in Germany. Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: International organizations play a vital role in facilitating global cooperation on climate change policies. They serve as platforms for information exchange and coordination of initiatives, setting international standards and targets. Additionally, these organizations provide financial support and technical assistance to enhance climate resilience, particularly in developing countries. Overall, their efforts are essential for driving collective action and combating climate change on a global scale. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Complex interdependence theory, transnational advocacy networks (TANs) & regime theory may be used to anchor future studies on climate change policies and global cooperation: assessing the role of international organizations. International organizations provide technical expertise, capacity-building support, and financial assistance to enhance the implementation of climate change policies at the national and regional levels. International organizations play a vital role in shaping the global policy agenda on climate change through advocacy, norm promotion, and policy coordination.
