Sažetak
The question of climate change has been on global agenda for few decades now, but nothing concrete has been done yet. Questioning on which actor(s) in
international community have means and will to act upon climate change policies we decided to analyze normative framework on international level, and decisions on national levels as a indicator of political will. We assumed that one of the reasons for neglecting this question was in fact that economic growth was right here, and consequences of global warming were there - far, far away. Geopolitical shift is evident in multiplying crisis and widening crisis area to the whole world - rich and poor countries - no questions asked. This perception also shifted questions related to ci imate into security questions pool. The main goal of this article is not to question reasons and causes of climate change, but to analyze models of possible action and political will to do so in international community.
