Abstract

Even a cursory glance at international attempts to solve the problem of climate change would suffice to establish two things. First, that, although there is a UN Climate Convention (UNFCCC) and associated Kyoto Protocol, there is also a plethora of other climate-related initiatives and institutions. Second, there is a significant disconnection between the way in which the UNFCCC attempts to mitigate climate change and scientific and even ‘common sense’ ideas of what would really be required to tackle the human forces that drive the enhanced greenhouse effect. This chapter examines the way in which the international climate regime was set up and how ‘framings’ of the problem have been associated with the ‘fragmented’ responses of the international community.
