Climate diplomacy has evolved into a central arena of global governance, where climate science, geopolitics, finance, trade, and development converge. As climate impacts intensify, nations must coordinate mitigation, adaptation, finance, and loss-and-damage responsibilities through complex multilateral negotiations under the UNFCCC, Paris Agreement, and emerging climate-linked trade regimes. This domain equips learners to navigate the global climate negotiation landscape; understand geopolitical alignments (Global North–South dynamics, BASIC, G77 + China), climate finance, CBAM–WTO linkages, Article 6 carbon markets, and climate–security concerns; and engage effectively in COP-style simulations. Learners gain policy, negotiation, and analytical skills, enabling them to influence outcomes in climate treaties, design country positions, interpret climate finance frameworks, strengthen multilateral collaboration, and support just transition pathways in developing economies.
