GLOBAL GOVERNANCE AND THE FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE

Abstract

Objective: This article aims to analyze how global governance can contribute to addressing climate change, highlighting the importance of international cooperation and the adoption of normative and political mechanisms that promote sustainable development.

Methodology: The study adopts a deductive method, based on bibliographic review and document analysis, including reports from international organizations and multilateral environmental treaties. It takes a theoretical and historical approach to global governance, contextualizing its role in shaping environmental public policies.

Results: The research shows that global governance is essential for combating climate change, as it provides a normative framework that encourages cooperation among states, mobilizes financial and technological resources, and ensures transparency in the implementation of climate commitments. Moreover, civil society plays a fundamental role in legitimizing climate action and building inclusive and representative policies.

Conclusions: The study concludes that strengthening global governance is crucial for advancing international climate policies. Cooperation among governments, multilateral organizations, and non-state actors is vital to achieving a low-carbon economy capable of reconciling economic growth, social justice, and environmental sustainability.
