The Influence of International Non-Governmental Organizations and Youth Movements in Propelling Global Climate Norms

Rose Govindaraj, Samuel Paul Raj

Climate change is a gradual variance of the weather pattern that has a long-term impact on the planet at the global level. The twentieth century has witnessed and would endure drastic and severe changes in the earth's temperature. Those climate changes were also expected to occur from earth's orbit variations that modify the amount of solar energy. Growth in population, economies, and standard of living rose the emission of greenhouse gases, which has caused the heat-trapping nature of the earth. The global temperature started rising, oceans melting, sea levels rising, ice sheets declining, melting glaciers, decreasing Arctic Sea ice, melting snow cover, ocean acidification, and many other extreme events are the substantial causes due to climate change. An International Non-Governmental Organization (INGO) plays an important role in environmental issues negotiations and in educating civil society. INGOs supervise the implementation of climate norms in the Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC) and the Conference of Parties (COP). Public protest, environmental non-governmental organizations, and the media have abetted to take this issue globally, which alerted people about the deteriorating climate. Youth Climate Movement (YCM) took a new turn in the global politics of climate change as thousands of youths took to the streets demanding to take action on the climate crisis. This paper analyses the involvement and developments of INGOs and the YCM in climate action, how much these INGOs have interacted with the United Nations and also analyses what the causes are and how much climate has exacerbated in the previous year's environmental and geopolitical backgrounds. This paper also explores the extent of the debates and their role in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) in this issue.
