Abstract

Climate change exposes fundamental limitations in international environmental law. This paper identifies five major challenges that hinder effective legal responses: conflicts between national sovereignty and global cooperation, mismatches between short-term political cycles and long-term climate processes, weak enforcement mechanisms, fairness disputes between developed and developing nations, and outdated anthropocentric perspectives on nature. Understanding these barriers is essential to developing effective governance frameworks for global climate action.
