POWER, CLIMATE AND NEGOTIATION: The Obstruction to the Global Climate Action

POWER, CLIMATE, AND NEGOTIATION examines how climate change, a scientific problem that should be a priority for humanity, has become a battlefield dominated by political, economic and power interests. The author elucidates the underlying factors contributing to inaction and the persistent rise in CO2 emissions and global warming. The book presents a critical analysis of the Paris Agreement’s past meetings (2015-2024), emphasizing the intricate negotiations surrounding key subjects such as emission reduction targets, financing mechanisms, loss and damage compensation, carbon markets, climate justice, and the phased-out transition of fossil fuels. Drawing upon the lessons learned from these diplomatic negotiations, Jaime Hurtubia delineates the essential components for addressing the challenges that confront humanity in the ensuing decade.“POWER, CLIMATE, AND NEGOTIATION” is a recommended reading for individuals interested in public policy, multilateral negotiations, politicians, educators, researchers, and students. The book offers over 200 bibliographic citations and is updated to August 2025. Read more
