Understanding the Global Climate Change Regimes

Abstract

Climate change is considered as one of the most hazardous security threats, which contains challenges for carbon-emitting countries as well as non-emitting countries. International regimes have been engaged in mitigating climate-related effects as these threats are more lethal than terrorism and any other traditional security threats. International regimes for climate change are being developed through an evolutionary process and currently working on different levels to combat the perils of climate change. Their efficiency is always under consideration by nonemitting states that are victims of climate change, consequently through developed or carbon-emitting states. The study identifies efficient and valuable work of climate regimes and provides a critical approach to so far work done on climate change to diminish its effects worldwide. The research includes the responsibility of various factors to mitigate the consequences of climate change i.e. role of carbon-emitting and nonemitting states and the role of inter-governmental organizations.
