Environmental protection constitutes arguably the most important field in international law, where common cause requires adjustment of the international cooperation paradigm based upon the sovereign equality of states. Corrective measures and differentiation of treatment are required, as substantial inequalities between states would otherwise hinder effective cooperation. But any provisions aimed at reintroducing equilibrium between parties to a Convention need to be very carefully drafted, so that environmental protection provisions are not overshadowed by political claims. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the normative ground for international cooperation in climate protection, risks breaking that balance, with the disproportionate economic claims of developing countries putting common environmental goals in peril

The lack of implementation of the Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) of the non-Annexe I Parties registered in the NAMA Registry of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is a worrying situation in the sense that it is limiting the contributions these NAMA projects would have made towards mitigating global climate change. There is however little research on the reasons behind the lack of implementation of these NAMAs projects and this is the knowledge gap that this paper seeks to fill based on a critical overview of the NAMAs of Ethiopia, Indonesia and Georgia. The source of data for this paper is mainly from the focal persons for the NAMAs of the countries under study, which was obtained via telephone and Skype interviews with the respondents. Our findings show that lack of funding, complicated financial mechanisms, lack of technical expertise, fringe condi- tions to donor support and policy issues according to the findings of this study are the main hindrances to the implementation of NAMAs. International organisations, donor partners, developed countries and local governments alike are therefore encouraged to channel some of the funds meant for fighting global climate change into sponsoring the NAMAs of poorer countries, as this will see to the successful implementations of these NAMAs and their subsequent impacts on mitigating global climate change. The paper is also timely considering the scarcity of literature on NAMAs related issues.

This article aims to explore International Relations through the lenses of the English School and through the case study of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and Cop26. In particular, the article aims to analyse the most notable concept created by the English School: International Society. To do so, the article starts off with a brief overview of the English School to cover its history and its place in IR, and then presents its three main concepts: International System, International Society, and World Society. Focusing on International Society, the article proceeds to describe the two main theoretical approaches of the International Society, that is Pluralism and Solidarism. Moreover, the article presents the debate between Order and Justice within the International Society. Finally, the article presents the existing international cooperation coping with climate change through the case study of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and Cop26. The article presents it by applying the principles of the International Society and aims to demonstrate the reasons why the English School and International Society are better suited concepts than the more traditional theories of IR to understand why there exists international cooperation to deal with climate change.

The author presents the origins and evolution of the negotiation process within the framework of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. An overview of greenhouse gas emission trends and future emission projections serves as a background for analysis of the main international agreements: UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol. Particular attention is paid to the outcomes of the 2009 COP15 in Copenhagen and to the most recent climate conference in Durban which initiated a new phase of climate talks aiming at the new treaty binding both developed and developing nations.

UE przyjęła walkę z globalnym ociepleniem i z emisją gazów cieplarnianych za priorytet swojej aktywności już u progu lat 90. Bardziej niż inni aktorzy (USA, Chiny, Rosja) przyczyniała się do realizacji protokołu z Kioto, a w 2005 r. uruchomiła pierwszą międzynarodową giełdę pozwoleń na emisję gazów cieplarnianych. Zagadnienie to wielokrotnie było poruszane na spotkaniach Rady Europejskiej. Jednak kryzys 2008 r. zmniejszył unijne zaangażowanie w ochronę klimatu. Można wręcz uznać, że recesja gospodarcza skuteczniej od zakazów ograniczyła emisję gazów cieplarnianych.

Fighting global warming and greenhouse gas emissions became a priority of the EU’s activity already shortly before 1990s. Compared to other actors (the USA, China, Russia), it contributed more to the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol, and in 2005 it launched the first international green house gas emission permit exchange. This issue has been repeatedly discussed during European Council meetings. However, the 2008 crisis reduced the EU’s engagement in climate protection. One can even say that economic recession was more effective in reducing green house gases than any bans.
