Regime complex for climate change
The regime complex for climate change refers to the diverse range of methods and systems to tackle climate change. Over the years, governments have found it hard to develop a robust and all-inclusive regulatory system for climate change management. Such a situation has led to most governments producing a diverse array of narrowly-focused regulatory regimes. There exists a close relationship between the facets of this regime, which can be conflicting in some situations. Governments develop international systems basing on their interests, hence vary among the different states. The power resources concerning the issue at hand determine the weighting of such attention.
Gridlock in global governance
Gridlock in global governance denotes governments’ inability to work together towards handling critical issues that require multiple-state involvement. Such include global warming, nuclear proliferation, trade, and finance. A wide range of factors causes governments’ failure to reach a consensus on these issues. One notable cause is the issue of growing multipolarity. Such arises due to the collapse of the liberal global order to include the world’s entire population. Institutional inertia is another common factor that hinders collaboration by most governments. Most institutions are reluctant to reach a consensus due to the lack of a more multipolar reality.
The divergence between China and India
The divergence between China and India is primarily due to a wide range of factors. One such factor includes the differences in resource endowment, which has led to these countries’ combustion regulations. Furthermore, there exist considerable differences between tin access to energy between these two countries. Lastly, India and China have varying domestic knowledge concerning environmental issues. As such, there lacks a consensus on how to tackle the ecological problems effectively. This situation limits the extent to which such knowledge is integrated into policymaking.
International negotiations
The world we live in currently faces different types of pollution, which affect various countries and can even have a global impact. Pollutants can affect both air and water, which considerably affect the balance of the ecosystem. The significance of international negotiations lies in their ability to develop various policies to tackle environmental pollution. Such strategies include internationally agreed rules and regulations that aid in conserving the environment. These regulations similarly allow nations to work together in investment and trade, which significantly contributes to economic growth and development. A wide range of factors hinders global environmental conservation. Most governments fail to comply and adhere to the various policies to conserve the environment. Furthermore, there lacks an overarching authority that can monitor and dictate what the different nations can do to save the ecosystem.
