Politics of Climate Change

This article shows that the politics of climate change involve global debates and actions driven by scientific consensus, political divisions, economic interests, public activism, diverse policy responses, persistent challenges, and the need for continued international cooperation and innovation to address the crisis effectively because climate change is a complex global problem. The burning of fossil fuels, the production of steel and cement, and the use of land for forestry and agriculture are the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming. Since the Industrial Revolution, the primary energy source for advancements in technology and the economy has been fossil fuels. There have been several calls for a "green recovery" as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and economic downturn, with some governments like the European Union successfully incorporating climate action into policy changes. The politics of climate change results from different perspectives on how to respond to climate change.
