About the Article
Climate policy frameworks and international agreements provide the structural backbone of global climate governance. This article examines comparative policy approaches in the European Union, United States, China, and selected developing countries, focusing on how strategies such as the European Green Deal, the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act, and China’s national carbon market interact with initiatives like Ethiopia’s Climate Resilient Green Economy strategy and India’s National Action Plan on Climate Change. The analysis highlights systemic barriers in developing regions—including financial limitations, weak governance, and limited technical expertise—while identifying opportunities for innovation, leapfrogging technologies, and international cooperation. Mechanisms such as the Green Climate Fund, blended finance, and capacity-building programs emerge as critical enablers of effective implementation. The article concludes that successful climate governance depends on aligning finance, governance, and technical capacity, embedding climate action within broader sustainable development priorities.
