Abstract :

The unprecedented growth of greenhouse gases and the transformation of climate change into a global crisis have faced all subjects of international law with devastating consequences. Meanwhile, in international relations, the concept of cooperation as a principle in international environmental law has not been successful in confronting climate change by subjects of international law, especially developed countries. The lack of interest of developed countries in the 29th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change or COP29 in November 2024 confirms the lack of urgency to address climate change in international relations and the widespread exacerbation of climate injustice. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the continuity of the commitment to the right to a sustainable climate in the sustainability of international relations to mitigate the global risks of climate change. In organizing this research were used a review of legal documents and texts and a survey of experts. The study findings conclude that focusing the global community on the right to a sustainable climate through the acquisition of a sustainable economy, a sustainable society, and a sustainable environment will have a meaningful and deepened relationship in strengthening international relations in reducing climate crisis of risks.
