International Law and Climate Change Diplomacy The role of international law and diplomacy in effectively managing climate change Emmanuella Doussis Ass. Professor, NKUA, UNESCO Chairholder on Climate Diplomacy ISBN 978-960-654-112-4 Abstract: This book offers an overview and analysis of the climate change in- ternational framework and its interactions with other areas of international law. It explores the role of international law in managing this global threat and highlights how international rules are currently evolving through diplo- macy. The main argument is that the lack of substantive progress is not due to the absence of international rules but to the fact that climate change has been framedjust like any other environmental problem; this approach fur- ther delays the necessary action for the implementation of international rules combatting climate change.
