Background
According to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, climate change poses “the greatest challenge we face as a human family”. His prognosis is echoed by eminent scientists and leaders around the world, placing environmental governance and curbing climate change at the top of the global policy agenda. While the international community concurs in principle on the urgent need to roll back environmental degradation, it still remains indecisive and at times non-committal to concrete pollution reduction targets that may impinge on their economic growth prospects or raise questions about financing or verification.
