Coinciding with COP28 ..«Trends» releases new study on Climate Diplomacy and International Cooperation

Trends Research and Advisory has released a new study entitled "Climate Diplomacy and International Cooperation." The study sheds light on the importance of climate diplomacy in the context of climate change. The study coincides with the UN Conference of the Parties on Climate Change (COP28) and provides a better understanding of climate diplomacy and explores its significant role in confronting climate change crisis.

The study was prepared by researcher Sharifa AlRaeesi, and Dr. Ayman El-Desouky, Senior Researcher at Trends Research and Advisory. It showed that the climate change crisis is a big risk to global security, as it includes economic, societal, environmental, social, health, political, and even geopolitical impacts. It is also one of the most complex crises faced by humanity in the current century.

The study stressed that international cooperation is the most effective approach to ensure that countries adapt to the effects of climate change, and confront its multi-faceted repercussions on human security.

The study examined the role of climate diplomacy at the international and subnational levels. It showed that the international level is currently driving diplomatic interactions related to climate change, and the subnational (regional) level is mostly affected by the impact of climate risks.

The Paris climate agreement has marked a new era of climate diplomacy, with countries pledging ambitious actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The study concluded that maintaining a proactive environment for international climate cooperation is a prerequisite for the successful implementation of the Paris Agreement. Active diplomacy ultimately achieves a certain level of climate stability.
