Climate change is a multi-faceted challenge that must be addressed on multiple fronts. This paper provides an overview of relevant venues beyond the UNFCCC.
Climate change is intrinsically connected to a broad range of other issue areas. In considering the global response to climate change post-2020, it is thus important to consider not only the central role of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), but also the potential roles of other international regimes and initiatives, and links among them. This paper provides a brief overview of relevant non-UNFCCC venues and suggests some broad issues for policy-makers.
The UNFCCC acknowledges the potential contributions of other international venues to the global climate effort, with references, for instance, to “greenhouse gases not controlled by the Montreal Protocol.” The Kyoto Protocol also envisages a division of labor, speci fically delegating the regulation of emissions from international aviation and shipping to, respectively, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Over time, a growing number of other international forums have devoted attention to climate change, and new forums focused on speci c dimensions of the climate issue have emerged.
