A Discussion on the Role of International Regimes in Mitigating Global Warming and Climate Change

Abstract

Global warming and climate change represent more than just an environmental crisis; they are urgent issues exacerbated by the era of neoliberal globalization. This has become a global problem and is increasingly posing a significant threat to human security. Addressing this crisis necessitates the unity of developed and emerging countries to fortify international regimes aimed at controlling this environmental threat. A robust awareness among global communities is essential to exert pressure on both developed industrial and emerging countries. This pressure is necessary to reduce the consumption of fossil-based energies. At the same time, it is crucial to enhance the capacity of international regimes, making their roles more effective in managing the environmental crisis. Without collective action from the leaders of developed and emerging countries, along with heightened global awareness, the ongoing environmental crisis will inevitably lead to the destruction of our planet. The environmental crisis, driven by climate change, is a complex issue that demands comprehensive and coordinated international efforts. Developed countries, with their significant historical contributions to greenhouse gas emissions, have a responsibility to lead by example in reducing fossil fuel consumption and transitioning to sustainable energy sources. Emerging countries, which are rapidly industrializing and increasing their carbon footprints, must also commit to sustainable development practices. Global cooperation is vital in creating and enforcing international policies that address climate change. This includes agreements such as the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit global temperature increases and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Strengthening these international regimes requires not only political commitment but also financial and technological support to help countries implement sustainable practices. Furthermore, raising awareness among global populations is critical. Public understanding and engagement can drive grassroots movements and put pressure on governments and corporations to adopt environmentally friendly policies. Education and advocacy play key roles in building this awareness and fostering a culture of sustainability. The environmental crisis posed by global warming and climate change is a pressing global threat that requires united action from both developed and emerging countries. Strong international regimes and heightened global awareness are crucial in mitigating this crisis. Only through collective effort and shared responsibility can we hope to protect our planet and ensure a sustainable future for all.
