Navigating the Intersection of New Populism and Climate Change in Global Governance

Globally, new populism has been on the increase, posing a threat to conventional governing structures and institutions. Concurrently, climate change has emerged as one of the greatest concerns mankind faces today. This research investigates the connection between new populism and climate change in global governance. Populist politicians sometimes appeal to their voters by prioritizing national concerns above global collaboration, which may make it difficult to address global problems such as climate change. To combat climate change, global governance structures and organizations, such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), depend on multilateralism and international collaboration. Yet, populist politicians who are increasingly suspicious of multilateralism and globalization pose a threat to these institutions. Yet, the study also indicates that there is potential to combat climate change via populist groups that are more receptive to public concerns. In the end, the success of attempts to combat climate change in the face of new populism will rely on finding methods to balance national interests with global collaboration and constructing a more inclusive and responsive structure of global governance.
