Abstract:
To answer the key question by N. Stern: What are we waiting for?, one must place global
warming and the policy debates about climate change in the UN agendas, UNFCCC and IPCC,
in a political economy perspective. Conka (2015) and Vogler (2016) have shown that the great
powers on the Planet the G20 group nations are hesitant to do something real about the
causes of climate change, preferring to move the issues from one agenda to another in order to
delay action. Most countries are very committed to further economic growth, which requires
much new energy leading to more greenhouse gases |
