Abstract

Although there is ample scientific evidence and the international community is aware of climate change as a global issue for many decades now, actions have been unable to restrict the temperature rise to 1.5 degrees centigrade. The reason behind the inability of the major environmental instruments such as Stockholm Declaration, Rio Declaration, Kyoto Protocol, Copenhagen Accord and Paris Agreement to bring about collective action has been identified in this essay. Each of these instruments has been analyzed separately on the basis of seven criteria including legal status, bindingness, enforcement, incentive, implementation, equity and expected effect on emissions.
