Abstract

In the course of the last four years, finance ministries have increasingly become involved in the international climate change negotiations. Their involvement has to a large degree been an outcome of the framing of climate change as a market failure. This framing calls for an active climate change policy and is at odds with the framing of climate change policy that was previously predominant in finance ministries: that it constitutes expenditure to be avoided. The persistence of both framings has led to clashes within and between finance ministries with respect to climate change. The article calls for further research focusing on the role of the two frames and of finance ministries as actors in climate change politics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The article reports on the failure of the United Nations (UN) Climate Change summit to devise its "carbon emission" regulation due to China's resistance. The gathering, which was held on December 2009 in Copenhagen, Denmark, aimed to formulate the greenhouse-related rules, focusing on carbon emission of developing countries. China, considered as "top polluter," contended to have a scrutiny of its carbon release. It infers that China's unwillingness elicited disappointment among UN officials.
