The year 2020 was a watershed event in the history of climate
change politics. It marked the end of the second commitment period
of the Kyoto Protocol and the beginning of the ambitious Paris
Agreement. It was also the year of the pandemic, where the
disruption caused severe implications on a global scale. The
pandemic also brought before the world the severity and scale of
the transboundary challenges in a globally interconnected world. It
exposed the weaknesses of the global institutions and governance
structures in tackling the complex and imminent threat of climate
change.As states prepare for the future of global climate change
negotiations post the COP26 event of 2021, there has been a
significant shift in the politics of climate change at all levels.
The negotiations took place in the shadows of the pandemic, which
has challenged the political lethargy and non-committal attitudes
of states on the climate change question.Unlike in the past,
climate change is now a hot issue on the political high tables. It
has also spilled outside these negotiating spaces and into the
public sphere. Whether it is the school strikes led by children or
the indigenous struggles of marginalized populations, the politics
of climate change today is far more diverse, representative, and
active. At the same time, we can witness the shifts in the state's
understanding of the problem, which is actively inquiring about its
security and geopolitical dimensions. The boundaries between
traditional and non-traditional threats to security are getting
blurred as climate change, and its myriad impacts wreak havoc on
ecosystem resilience, the state's welfare capacity, and people's
everyday lives.Hence, this volume seeks to decipher the nature of
global climate change politics in the post-pandemic and climate
insecure world. Who will be its main actors, main stakeholders, and
losers? How will questions of equity, sustainability, and finance
interplay at the COP26 event and thereafter? How will developing
and poor countries engage with the issue in the next phase of
climate politics? Finally, how will the ambition of the Paris
Agreement, which is reflected in the language of net-zero targets
and the two degrees Celsius temperature goals, be brought into
action?
