Abstract

This paper examines global climate change and the level of actual and potential responses by international and Regional legal bodies. Important questions about legal achievements on looming global climate crises will be broadly discussed. What is the possibility of these legal bodies and institutions to deal efficiently with these crises? What are the effects of the crises caused by climate change on legal institutions? The capacity and ability of the various existing agreements and laws to manage climate, change. These are international agreements such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and its Kyoto protocol, and the 2012 Doha Post Kyoto Agreement, European Union and African Union treaties and negotiations on climate change. This inquiry will also look at the roles of changing scientific and economic understanding on evolving legal responses. The necessity or otherwise of a binding agreements on nations will also be discussed. Can existing legal and political institutions deal with a problem as complex, long-term and uncertain as climate change? It is recommended that United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is to come up with legally binding agreements on countries rather than treaties. Bold visionary action and legislation from law making bodies, parliaments, congress and National Assemblies of different countries that will curb carbon emissions and make polluters pay for global warming on gases they produce, will mobilize billions of dollars for investment and help address the global energy, economic and global crises since the world has no more time to lose.
