Abstract
The study is based on the role of law in handling the major environmental issue that is climate change. The study discusses various policies present at the international level and explores their strengths and weaknesses besides suggesting measures to overcome those obstacles. The study uses secondary data to discuss the various economic dimensions of climate change as well as discuss the policy framework of law-making bodies. The purpose of the study is to bring out the weaknesses of the policies in order to assess the impact of climate change on various sectors of the economy. In conclusion, international organizations have faced several challenges and failures in their efforts to tackle climate change. While they have played a critical role in raising awareness and mobilizing resources, more needs to be done to overcome political challenges, improve coordination, and increase the ambition and impact of their policies and initiatives.
