Abstract
Over the past years, the transnational debate of climate change has shifted. While only two decades ago, the climate change was seen as a future risk of melting polar glacier caps, rising sea levels of oceans and the implications of CO2 emissions on the environment, and these processes of planetary destruction are today significant—climate change has become not only a reality but also a catastrophe which requires urgent policy approaches to minimize further implications on a global scale.
