Abstract:

The North-South political differences and lack of consensus have serious implications for the climate change governance. This paper primarily explores—what are the cosmopolitan responses to the international climate change regimes? In addition, “How these responses aims at rectifying the mitigation and adaptation efforts of the international climate change regimes?” It also explores “Why the costs of ‘mitigation burdens’ and ‘adaptation burdens’ should be taken by international climate change regimes as cosmopolitan responsibility?” This chapter aims to discuss the institutional imperatives of cosmopolitan approach for an egalitarian distribution of burdens and benefits at the global level to mitigate climate change. In the last, to institutionalize cosmopolitan ideals, it also discusses the possible egalitarian model of environmental governance.
