Addressing global climate change brings up a number of priority issues. The fundamental issue is the definition of the participants in this process and the scope of their competencies and areas of responsibility. Practice shows that modern global challenges, which include global climate change, cannot be solved individually and in a straightforward manner without the involvement of all stakeholders and the general public. The article discusses actions aimed at adapting and mitigating the consequences of global climate challenges carried out by states and their alliances (as traditional international actors) and corporations and media (as new international actors). It is shown that today state political decisions on the adaptation to and mitigation of the consequences of global climate change are associated, in particular, with the transition to a low-carbon economy. At the same time, specific and effective climate policies are also being implemented by international corporations. Global media implement their own climate initiatives from one side and shape international public opinion regarding the climate challenge from the other side. The author concludes that, despite the active presence of the theme of global climate change in international and national political discourse, as well as in media and in the social and economic projects of corporations, the general attempts to resolve the issue can’t be considered as a well coordinated, and the results are not efficient enough.

In this historical economic interdisciplinary research we investigate the impact of the 1930s economic crisis and their relationship to global warming. We investigate two consecutive hegemonic powers: the United Kingdom and the United States. Our assumption was that a reduction in demand would lead to a decrease in mean global temperatures during depressions. We find that in fact reduced carbon dioxide in the atmosphere resulting from lowered production does not result in cooling temperatures.

Między handlem międzynarodowym i niekorzystnymi zmianami klimatycznymi na Ziemi istnieje sprzężenie zwrotne. Przedmiotem opracowania jest zbadanie wzajemnych relacji między handlem światowym i klimatem na naszej planecie. Autorzy próbują odpowiedzieć na kilka pytań. W jakim stopniu ekspansja handlu światowego przyczynia się do wzrostu emisji gazów cieplarnianych i zmian klimatycznych na świecie? W jaki sposób ocieplenie się klimatu na Ziemi wpłynie na rozmiary i kierunki obrotu towarowego na świecie? Co należy zrobić, aby działalność gospodarcza w skali mikro- i makroekonomicznej była zgodna z zasadami zrównoważonego rozwoju? Jakie szanse dla rozwoju handlu światowego wynikają ze wzrostu popytu i produkcji na towary związane z tzw. zieloną gospodarką?

There is an interaction between international trade and adverse climate change on Earth. The subject of this study is to examine the interrelationship between the world trade and the climate on our planet. The authors try to answer a few questions. To what extent is the expansion of the world trade contributing to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions and climate change in the world? How will the global warming change affect the volume and direction of the world trade? What should be done to make the economic activity on a micro- and macroeconomic scale compatible with the principles of sustainable development? What opportunities for the development of the world trade result from the increase in demand for and production of goods related to the so-called green economy?
