Introduction:
Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing the world today, with far-reaching implications for the environment, human health, and the global economy. As the effects of climate change become increasingly severe, there is a growing recognition of the need for coordinated international efforts to mitigate its impacts. International law plays a crucial role in this process, providing the legal framework for countries to work together to address climate change through agreements, treaties, and other mechanisms.
This thesis explores the role of international law in climate change mitigation, examining the ways in which legal instruments and institutions can be used to promote sustainable development, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and adapt to the changing climate. By analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of existing international legal frameworks, this study aims to provide insights into how international law can be leveraged to address the challenges of climate change effectively.
