Abstract

Global climate governance is a global public good, which has received more and more attention in recent years. Climate governance has three characteristics: multi-level, political and lagging. The paper examines the development process of global climate governance and its existing defects, and analyses the impact of the Paris Agreement on global climate governance. Since the entry into force of the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, several legal documents have been issued in phases, of which the Paris Agreement is the first major achievement of international climate governance. Although the Paris Agreement adopts the obvious weakness of the model in which the member nations determine their own contribution, it is also a very useful attempt. The effectiveness of the Paris Agreement still depends on the independent contributions of various countries. Therefore, in climate governance, it is necessary to lead countries to actively fulfil their obligations.
