Abstract

Abstract. Currently, the international community is facing one of the largest environmental threats as climate change. In this article, we will analyze international legal documents, decisions of the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (hereinafter referred to as the UNFCCC), reports of international organizations and scientific literature in the field of combating climate change. We will analyze which branches of international law, besides international environmental law, have been affected by the fight against climate change. In addition, issues such as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), climate change mitigation technologies, «climate» justice, human rights and climate change, climate refugees, «climatization» of law will be touched upon, climate change in the context of sustainable development and achievement of SDG 13. Particular emphasis will be placed on the impact of renewable energy sources as one of the effective means of combating climate change. In conclusion, we came to the conclusion that despite the wide range of measures taken to adapt and mitigate the effects of climate change, until the transition to a green economy and carbon neutrality is completed, and states will not strive in good faith to fulfill their international legal obligations on climate change , we will not be able to talk about achieving the global climate goal until 2100.
