Cross-Border Climate Agreements: Legal Frameworks and Implementation Barriers

Abstract

The research examines the legal components and operational obstacles of cross-border climate agreements
formation and execution. The study assesses the dynamics bilateral and multilateral treaties in a region have and their
enforcement at constitutive elements for climate policy adoption within and across national borders. Through
comparative legal analysis and case study approaches for implementation, the research uncovers institutional, political,
and technical obstacles for progress. Findings underscore the need for integration procedures in legal structures in
addition to alignment of responsibility systems to increase effectiveness of action on climate initiatives among
countries.
