Climate change is the lasted longest time, the most widely scope, the most seriousnegative effect and the most far-reaching influence of a global challenge for facing thehuman history. Solve the problem of climate change and promote the sustainabledevelopment of human beings to achieve the goals at accord with the fundamentalinterests of all countries in the world. The United Nations Framework Convention onClimate Change and the Kyoto Protocol as the core of the establishment of the systemof international climate, it's pointes out for the international community to respond toclimate change cooperative action. China as the biggest developing country in the world,is the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change one of the countries instrengthening domestic climate change policy and action at the same time, also activelyparticipate in international climate negotiations with the international climatecooperation in all kinds of activities, providing for the global climate control have madeoutstanding contributions. However, as the global climate change situation deeply, theinternational climate political pattern and climate control vision also sends expectedcomplex, and the China in the climate change of international pressure and developmentwill face more severe challenges, therefore, further cognitive global climate changeevolution process, to explore global climate control of institutional trend, exploresChina in global climate treatment in international responsibility and strategy, to buildclimate change under the background of China's national security, and realize thesustainable development of China's future target has very important academic value andpractical significance. Chapter one: Climate change is closely related to the sustainable development ofhuman and global issues. A scientific research shows that, global climate isexperiencing to warming as the main characteristics of the significant change in nearlyyears, its serious consequences will bring irreversible daunting challenges for life on theearth, and in the international scientific community of constant exploration, the humanunderstanding with the problems of climate change also experienced a graduallydeepening of scientific cognitive process, this chapter will analysis from three aspects ofthe international community climate change first cognitive turning, that is, from simpleenvironment and natural protection technical cope between the review ecologicaldeteriorating, poverty and economic development of closely connection. Firstly, throughthe summary IPCC fourth assessment report by the master of information science, it isconcluded that the current climate change process of the four basic characteristics, thusexplain that global warming has become a fact, any climate change science verdict ofdoubts shouldn't be blockage of climate change action. Secondly, discusses the negativeeffect of global climate change, and not only to natural ecological system has theobvious change effect, more on the social and economic activity caused profoundinfluence, in this sense, the extension of climate change is already beyond the scienceand technology category but with human society of long development is closely linked.Finally, summarizes the sustainable development of the contemporary forming process,based on the deep analysis of the interrelation between the climate change and thesustainable development, the establishment of the international society for sustainabledevelopment in the framework of international consensus on climate change providesclear theoretical and realistic basis, this means that the human to climate change alreadyacross the scientific level, and expand the areas for development.Chapter two: The issues of international political response for global climatechange. After the climate change is listed as a human in the domain of sustainabledevelopment of important issues, all of countries over the world have also launched onclimate change policy and action of the big discussion, by the 1980, global climate change gradually become the international political focus on one of the biggest issues.In this chapter will through the three questions about climate change issues that thepoliticization of the process, the international society to global climate change issuessecond cognitive twist. Firstly, the global climate change science verdict and attributionmechanism is governments make the main basis of climate policies, through to allprevious IPCC climate change assessment report expresses the comparison and analysisof information, can be informed human factors is causing global warming trend innearly years the main reasons, but because of the existence of the scientific researchuncertainty, critics voice still in some policymakers action shake determination, and thisdoes not change the objective facts of climate change and its affected graveness, soresponding to global climate change is imperative. Secondly, the global climate politicalissues highlighted the problem of climate change to strengthen the international politicalovertones, main performance on climate change has the distinct international politicalmeaning; Through the analysis of the formation of the global climate politics three keyelements, the international consensus, governance and the relationship with main bodycan be obtained the essence of the global climate politics is still not deviate tradition theinternational political thinking orbit, interest is still in the political climate for theattention of agents core content; This judge, the global climate political the maincontradiction between countries into three categories of performance interest game, thatis, between developed and developing countries, developed countries conflicts ofinterest within the struggle for power in the United States and Europe and developingcountry groups in different interests and the position of the appeal, so fully explainclimate change has transcended the pure science and technology and environmentalproblems, and to become and national interests, international relations and the state ofthe development of Paramount importance to the international political issues. Thirdly,the global climate political consensus of the preliminary form, marked the humansociety on climate change the second cognitive to turn to the finish, through policymeans, to international cooperation manner to the climate crisis has become a top priority of the international community, in many of the villa Hector advocating, Torontoconference call for positive, the United Nations conference on environment anddevelopment on the through the United Nations framework convention on climatechange to the global climate governance practices officially open to begin.Chapter third: discusses the management of the global climate action and systemconstruction. The United Nations framework convention on climate change and theKyoto protocol, the international climate system established by international response toclimate change is an important achievement of action, and also the present globalclimate control the core content of the practice, the implementation and the protocol ofthe contract, the parties has started a heated political negotiations and interest exchange,and the key to the problem lies in how to lack of authority in the international context,improving global climate control of the international system construction, to promotethe international response to climate change collective action smoothly. This chapterwill from three aspects of the content to explain the system construction in the globalclimate control action of the core status and important role, and the future direction ofthe reform of the system of international climate probes, first of all, on a brief review ofthe United Nations framework convention on climate change, effect and the executionof the process, on the basis of the convention, the main contents and the position offocuses on, especially the convention of the international society established by climatechange action of the five basic principles, is guide future global climate managementpractice action rule. Secondly, the system combed the Kyoto's through, negotiation andeffect of the difficult process, this paper discusses the Kyoto protocol on global climatemanagement practice in the special position, especially the protocol set" three flexiblemechanisms "is the Kyoto meeting on global climate control of groundbreakingcontribution, international response to climate change and adapt to the action of theslow action play an irreplaceable role. Finally, the current international climate systemconstruction theory analysis, and points out that the global climate control ofinstitutional trend, mainly discusses the establishment of the international climate system theory reasons, the international climate system on the significance and thefuture direction of the reform of the system of international climate.Chapter fourth: put forward of Chinese coping with global climate managementstrategic choice. Global climate political issues and highlight the global climate controlaction of the deep development of Chinese climate change big international background,China should global climate change duty, at the same time, China also faces manychallenges and domestic development international environmental stress and how toglobal climate management practice in both Chinese international responsibility toperform well and solve Chinese own reality problem, is the current and future within arelatively long period of Chinese sustainable development strategy must be to properlyhandle the major issue. This chapter will from four aspects to the problems are analyzedand discussed, first of all, a systematic analysis of the Chinese current climate controlproblems, including Chinese own climate change to the situation of cognition, andclimate change to the sustainable development of Chinese influence, China shouldglobal climate change challenges and opportunities. Secondly, this paper expounds theclimate control policy of the Chinese government, including Chinese climate changebasic position and principle, Chinese climate change domestic action and Chineseparticipation in the global climate governance practices such as international action.Again, to related to climate change in the Chinese national conditions and policy actionoutlining a after a known, from self-orientation and the other two cognitive perspective,this paper in the China to respond to climate change the role in action, and discusses theChinese in global climate treatment in international responsibility problems and toanswer the "China climate management contribution" and "China responsibility theory","China threat theory" great contrast between the causes of phenomena. Finally, in theface of China before climate change that situation at home and abroad on the basis ofcomprehensive analysis of our participating countries in global climate control of thestrategic countermeasures put forward some Suggestions, including Chinese climatechange overall strategic goals, giving priority to the development of the field and long-term strategic choice and so on.After all, global climate change has become the biggest challenge to human society,global climate control is urgent action, no matter from domestic reality needs or liabilityshare from the international perspective, China has actively take action to deal with theglobal climate change is inevitable all has the strategy of, only act, seize the opportunity,in the face of the challenges of promoting Chinese sustainable economic and socialdevelopment and low carbon change is the optimal strategy choice.
