Abstract

The paper reviews sets of policy options available and currently being utilized for climate change mitigation. It outlines the state of play and challenges to climate policy agreements incumbent within the UN global climate change regime, before turning to a discussion of the changing dynamics in U.S. and North American climate change politics. It concludes with some observations and questions about ongoing climate politics, as human activity continues to alter the global climate and human political systems continue to demonstrate their incapacity to address the causes and consequences of climate change.
