Intersecting Climate Policies: Challenges and Opportunities in Global Governance

This session explores the interplay between national climate policies and global governance frameworks in the quest for effective climate action. As countries implement diverse mitigation and adaptation strategies, aligning these efforts with international commitments remains a significant challenge. Panelists will discuss the tension between national sovereignty and multilateralism, the role of emerging powers in shaping global climate norms, and the influence of non-state actors in bridging governance gaps. The session aims to identify pathways for harmonizing climate policies at multiple levels, fostering a cohesive and inclusive approach to tackling the climate crisis while ensuring equity and shared responsibility.
