Failure of Treaties for Global Climate Change

Question: Dscribe about failure of treaties for global climate change. Answer: In the world where there is so much of cut throat competition on issues like employment, living standards, your salary digits and a lot more, we certainly forget to look at the bigger picture. The place we live in, the earth as we know it. Will it treat us well, if we treat it like this? Like its taken for granted, it will certainly backfire. And this is where these conferences which take place- the climate change conferences like the one always happens- UN climate conference. But what happened in the Doha round of 2012, was it all for vain? When we talk about procedures on country levels, there is not just one issue acting but so many that it covers a lot of issues- politics for that matter comes ahead of all this. As mentioned by Thomas (2010/2011), why have these international wars undertaking increased so dramatically in the world of Muslims from past three decades and more? The writer has beautifully told us this sad chain of events which has an emphasis on the U.S.-Saudi support for the development of Islamism. This all can be easily explained because of the strong movement in this Arab world with the elite competition in between the organizations with so much increase in budgets for the activities they have been doing. Moreover as said by Kaufman Pape (1999), there are very few underpinnings as to what can traditions do on the larger international level. How can these changes the way countries act on national and international fronts- this makes a lot of difference. And this is all because of the one approach on which these two writers have emphasized- the approach which spreads so many types of ethical beliefs on the international or transnational front. These types of theories- constructivist might be only appearing to be used to compare the levels in projects related to food aids or other unilateral transfers. And this is the way, in this article of Kaufman and Pape, the have told how moral action has effected international action. The Atlantic slave trade was also Britains commitment for a particular community and thus in the past they have had political views on the same with a great amount of moral vision. To be honest this all can be easily studied through the various kinds of models the lo cal politics have in a particular nation. To sum it up, when Rutherford (2000) has described the important role Non- Governmental Organizations in order to make sure that the issue of the land mine ban control stays on the international arms control agenda and thus there was a huge change even the framework and policies. Same is the case in the Ottawa Treaty banning antipersonnel landmines, NGOs made sure that the use of weapons is banned. The role of NGOs also made sure that the media highlight is there and they keep all the humanitarian issues first. But this also shows that how important is the role of a local NGO even in the host country. Thus influencing the functioning of NGOs is now making sure that the landmines are not abused. This pretty much tells us that how NGOs can culminate countries to make law. And this boils down to one point that these lessons make us aware that because of this turmoil only, on international fronts like that one round in Doha, doesnt allow countri es to give their collective stance on issues of major importance like Global climate. The inward turmoil and the various strategies used by local organizations doesnt allow country leaders to take decisions in alignment with other counties by having good coalition and transnational effect in global climate change treaty.
