Abstract


The objective of this study is to examine the importance of global governance in mitigating the impact of climate change, emphasizing the need for coordinated international responses. Using a qualitative methodology based on secondary data including scholarly literature, institutional reports and global policy frameworks, the research is anchored on the Climate Governance Theory, which emphasizes the interdependence of nations in addressing trans-boundary environmental issues. The analysis explores how international agreements, climate financing mechanisms, and regional cooperation contribute to mitigation and adaptation efforts. Findings indicate that although global frameworks have fostered collaboration, challenges such as weak enforcement, inadequate funding for developing nations, and inequitable responsibility-sharing hinder their effectiveness. The study recommends enhancing enforcement mechanisms, scaling up equitable climate finance, promoting public private innovation partnerships, and improving transparency and accountability within governance institutions. These measures are essential for strengthening global governance and achieving sustainable climate outcomes.
