A Comparison Of The Implementation Of International Legal Regulations On Climate Protection In The People’s Republic Of China And The United States Of America

The intensive development of industrial production and globalization have led to an increase in CO2 emissions.According to the report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change,there is a consistent,almost linear relationship between cumulative CO2 emissions and projected global temperature change.Despite certain difficulties,today there are a sufficient number of international legal acts directly related to the obligations of states to preserve the Earth’s climate,as a result of which all states face the problem of its implementation in domestic legislation.The ratification of the Paris Agreement and the implementation of its provisions into domestic law seems to be a necessary step in further cooperation between states on the issue of climate change.In this regard,it is very important to refer to the practice of countries such as China and the United States.The issue of implementation of international legal obligations in the field of Earth’s climate conservation in the national legislation of each selected country is different.First,China and the United States are parties to all major universal international climate agreements,the provisions of which are reflected in detail in national legislation.Secondly,in China and the United States,approaches to the implementation of international law in the field of climate change combine,to varying degrees,the adoption of framework legal acts and the clarification of the provisions of these acts by special laws on narrower issues.At the national level,such methods have certain advantages,since the system of framework acts provides a basis for the adoption of future regulations,but at the global level,such methods require deeper analysis and solutions with an emphasis on cooperation.
