Climate change and Its Impact on Global politics the paris agreement as a Model

Abstract

This research examined the impact of climate change on global politics, one of the most significant global challenges whose implications extend far beyond environmental concerns to become a key factor shaping international relations and global policymaking. The study began by examining the concept of climate change and its natural and anthropogenic causes, followed by an analysis of its environmental, economic , social, and political impacts. It then explored how climate change has influenced global politics by reshaping the economic, political, and security policies of states, while also transforming the roles and policies of international organizations in global climate governance. Furthermore , the study analyzed the growing influence of non-state actors, whose role in climate governance has expanded significantly, A separate section was devoted to the Paris Agreement as the principal international framework for addressing climate change, highlighting its contribution to institutionalizing key principles such as common but differentiated responsibilities ,climate justice, and nationally determined contributions, thereby reinforcing these principles within international relations. Finally, the research examined the future trajectory of climate change’s impact on global politics through three possible scenarios: escalation, decline, or the continuation of current trends .
